Arup
(officially
Arup Group Limited
) is a British
multinational
professional services
firm headquartered in
London
that provides
design
,
engineering
,
architecture
,
planning
, and advisory services across every aspect of the
built environment
. It employs about 17,000 people in over 90 offices across 35 countries,
[2]
and has participated in projects in over 160 countries.
[3]
[4]
Arup was established in 1946 by
Sir Ove Arup
as Ove N. Arup Consulting Engineers. Through its involvement in high-profile projects such as the
Sydney Opera House
, it became well known for undertaking complex and challenging projects.
[5]
In 1970, Arup stepped down from actively leading the company, setting out the principles which have continued to guide its operation.
[5]
Arup's ownership is structured as a
trust
[6]
whose beneficiaries are its employees, past and present, who receive a share of its
operating profit
each year.
[7]
[8]
History
[
edit
]
Founding the firm
[
edit
]
The company was founded in London in 1946 as
Ove N. Arup Consulting Engineers
by
Sir Ove Arup
. Arup had established himself in the 1930s as an expert in
reinforced concrete
, known for projects such as the Penguin Pool at
London Zoo
.
[9]
According to the architectural author Ian Volner, Arup's vision when establishing the company came out of a combination of his wartime experiences and a progressive-minded philosophy broadly aligning with early modernism, was for the organisation to be a force for peace and social betterment in the
postwar
world.
[5]
To this end, it would employ professionals of diverse disciplines that could work together to produce projects of greater quality than was achievable by them working in isolation, a concept known as 'Total Design'.
[5]
[10]
[11]
Early years
[
edit
]
As the company grew, Arup spurned the common practice amongst its rivals of acquiring other companies; instead, it pursued natural growth, opening up new offices at locations where the potential for work had been identified.
[5]
During 1963, together with the architect
Philip Dowson
, a new division of the company, Arup Associates, was formed.
[12]
Within 25 years of its establishment, the firm had become well known for its design work for the
built environment
,
[13]
[14]
acquiring a reputation for its competence at undertaking projects that were structurally and/or logistically complex.
[5]
Arup himself worked on multiple projects during the firm's early years, including the
Sydney Opera House
, where he was lead engineer, and which author Peter Jones credited with launching Arup into the premier league of engineering consultancies.
[15]
[16]
The Opera House was the first application of computer calculations to an engineering project, using the
Ferranti Pegasus
computer to generate models.
[17]
During Arup's lifetime, the company would also work on high-profile projects such as the 'inside-out'
Centre Pompidou
with Rogers & Piano, and the
HSBC headquarters
with Norman Foster & Partners.
[18]
[19]
The Key Speech
[
edit
]
1970 was a particularly transformative year for the firm; 24 years after founding the company, Arup opted to retire from actively leading the company. At the time, the firm (then
Ove
Arup & Partners
) was made up of several independent practices spread across the globe, so prior to his departure, Arup delivered his 'Key Speech' on 9 July in
Winchester
to all his partners from the various practices.
[20]
The speech set out the aims of the firm and identified the principles of governance by which they might be achieved. These included quality of work, total architecture, humane organisation, straight and honorable dealings, social usefulness, and the reasonable prosperity of its members.
[5]
Arup's philosophy work on influential projects was the subject of a dedicated retrospective at the V&A Museum in 2016.
[21]
Operations
[
edit
]
Arup is an employee-owned business, with all staff owning a stake in the company and part of a global profit share.
[22]
By 2013, Arup was operating 90 offices across 60 countries around the world.
[5]
These offices are elaborately interconnected by shared
internet
-based collaborative working packages and communication systems that can, where required, enable a single project to be worked on by multiple offices across a seamless, 24-hour working cycle. However, it is more common for individual offices to specialise in working on an assigned subsection of a project rather than continuously exchanging.
[5]
The
BBC Television
and
RIBA
documentary
The Brits who Built the Modern World
highlighted Arup's collaboration with architects and described Arup as "the engineering firm which
Lord Norman Foster
and his peers
Lord Richard Rogers
,
Sir Nicholas Grimshaw
,
Sir Michael Hopkins
and
Sir Terry Farrell
most frequently relied upon."
[23]
The firm has published an annual sustainability report since 2008, and is involved in several projects around the world aiming to cut greenhouse gas emissions,
[24]
such as
Dongtan Eco-City
, which is planned to be zero waste,
[25]
and the
High Speed 2
Interchange Station, which is the first railway station in the world to achieve
BREEAM
'outstanding certification.
[26]
Arup also runs community engagement programmes comprising initiatives to combat homelessness,
[27]
improve
sanitation
in disaster relief programmes,
[28]
and disaster recovery after earthquakes.
[29]
They also engage in partnerships with
governments
,
NGOs
,
think tanks
, and other advocacy groups.
