About Defence Infrastructure Organisation

The Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) is a vital component of the UK Ministry of Defence, responsible for managing and delivering infrastructure projects that support the armed forces. With a commitment to excellence, DIO plays a crucial role in ensuring that military personnel have access to the facilities and services they need to operate effectively.

DIO’s core activities include the planning, construction, and maintenance of defence estates across the UK and overseas. This encompasses a wide range of projects, from building new barracks and training facilities to upgrading existing infrastructure. The organisation works closely with various stakeholders, including government bodies, contractors, and local communities, to ensure that projects are delivered on time and within budget.

One of the key visions of DIO is to create a sustainable and resilient infrastructure that meets the evolving needs of the armed forces. This involves adopting innovative technologies and practices that enhance efficiency and reduce environmental impact. DIO is also committed to promoting social value through its projects, ensuring that local economies benefit from defence spending.
