Why work with us

Current work on Egypt's LRT and BRT

Life Stranding manages LRT Phases 3 and 4, the close-out of Phases 1 and 2, and BRT close-out and handover, inside the National Authority for Tunnels' approval cycle.

Technical work, not just introductions

Estimating, Primavera P6 programmes and BIM are done in-house, by engineers who have delivered them on Egyptian rail.

Fees a compliance team can approve

Every fee is tied to documented work. We don't claim special access to any authority or official.
