1838
James Meadows Rendel, the 6th President of the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) 1851-1853 formed Rendel & Partners in 1838 in London, UK. The company later changed its name to Rendel, Palmer & Tritton.
1985
Following the merger of High-Point, a specialist commercial claims consultancy established in 1970, and Rendel, Palmer & Tritton, one of Britain’s most respected consulting engineering firms. Headquartered in London, UK, High-Point Rendel was formed.
2013
High-Point Rendel celebrated the 175th anniversary of its origins in London.
2015
Rendel became a wholly owned subsidiary of Ingérop, a large multi-disciplinary French company with more than 1,600 employees worldwide. Rendel retains its fully British registered company status and continues to explore, and do business in the geographical and market sectors it has previously worked in.
2018
Rendel and Ingerop opened Rendel Ingerop Pty in Sydney in response to requests from key clients to support them in the country’s growing infrastructure sector. The permanent presence will build on Rendel’s established experience across Australia.
2019
Rendel opened its Birmingham office to deliver all Rendel’s core services including civil engineering design and checking, supporting the London head office, but also serving a growing local client base. Large infrastructure projects linking London and Birmingham, such as HS2, made this a natural next step for Rendel Ltd.
2020
Rendel opened its third UK office to act as a base for Rendel and Ingerop staff working on nuclear projects in the Bristol area, and with clients such as Edvance UK & BYLOR. These projects require a greater resource to be based close to site, prompting the opening of the Bristol office, to allow closer collaborative working with clients.
2022
Rendel purchased a controlling interest in Aspec Engineering Pty Ltd (ASPEC), a multi-disciplinary engineering company based in Australia in the field of material handling, ports and infrastructure. Rendel Ingerop Pty in Sydney, will be working alongside ASPEC’s offices and teams in Brisbane, Perth, Newcastle, Wollongong, and Melbourne.
2023
Rendel acquired controlling interest in T&RS Engineering Ltd, a railway rolling stock engineering consultancy, to extend its rail and transportation business in the UK. T&RS Engineering specialises in rolling stock maintenance, overhaul, technical support and auditing services to train operators, maintainers, and leasing companies.
2024
Rendel established its Dublin, Ireland office in early 2024.
