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

Founding the firm

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

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

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

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.^[30][31]
