Birse Civils is a civil engineering company based in North Yorkshire, England. It was formerly a separate civil engineering company simply known as Birse Group, but is now owned by Balfour Beatty.

History

The company was founded as the Birse Group in 1970. It was based in Doncaster.

In February 2002, it separated its building (houses), civil engineering, rail, underground and process divisions into Birse Build, Birse CL, Birse Rail, Birse Metro and Birse Process.

Acquisition

In June 2006, it was bought by Balfour Beatty for £32 million.[1] Birse Build was integrated into Balfour Beatty's Mansell company.

The remaining Birse companies continued to function as independent OPCO's under the Balfour Beatty flag.
