Atkins is the UK's largest engineering and design consultancy
and the world's 11th largest design firm. We have the depth and
breadth of expertise to respond to the most technically challenging
and time-critical infrastructure projects and the urgent transition
to a low-carbon economy.
Whether it's the concept for a new skyscraper, the upgrade of a
rail network, the modelling of a flood defence system or the
improvement of a management process, we plan, design and enable
solutions.
We plan, design and enable solutions
Plan - The challenges facing our clients are
multidimensional, often because of an increasingly complex modern
environment. From cost and risk planning, feasibility studies and
logistics to impact assessments and stakeholder engagement
activity, we plan every aspect of our clients' projects.
Design - Atkins designs intellectual capital such as management
systems and business processes. We also design physical structures
such as office towers, schools, bridges and highways. Whatever we
design, we apply the same passion and creativity combined with
rigorous quality standards.
Enable - Our clients choose Atkins because they need assurance that
their projects are procured safely and predictably. They entrust us
with the management of projects, people and issues - ensuring that
deadlines are met, costs are controlled and success is
delivered.
Atkins is proud to be the official design services provider for the
2012 Olympic Games. When London was awarded the 2012 Games, a
persistent concern was whether 2.5km2 of derelict and hugely
contaminated site could be transformed in time and to cost. The
answer is a resounding yes. Not only was the entire site cleared,
cleaned and stabilised in readiness for the construction of the
Olympic Park facilities, but new benchmarks have been set for how
to approach future brownfield redevelopments.
At this IABSE-IASS Symposium, we are able to share some of the
innovation and learning we have brought to bridge design in the
Olympics project. Our depth of knowledge in bridge
engineering runs from conceptual design to hands on operational
responsibility. Whether it is an initial feasibility study for a
river crossing or designing a cable repair scheme, we plan, design
and enable solutions for our clients. Chris Hendy, our
Network Chair for Bridge Engineering, will be presenting at the
conference and will be available throughout to discuss any aspects
of our services with you, whether in bridge engineering or other
engineering disciplines.
