Our projects

Day one legacy

Our rich history as offshore engineers meant we were well positioned to play a leading role in the industry’s development from day one. This extensive experience garnered in the offshore oil and gas sector proved an invaluable foundation for the growth of our offshore wind team. We’ve been at the forefront of the growing offshore wind sector providing concept to detailed design, construction and installation support and asset and integrity management.

We work closely with all the stakeholders in the sector. Providing critical advice for developers in advance of consent and financial close and support to clients through technical approval, certification and construction phases.

We offer the following specialist services:

• Offshore substation design (substructure and topsides)

• Wind turbine substructure and geotechnical design

• Electrical array and export transmission design

• Cable selection and installation assessment

• Onshore substation design and grid connection studies

• Wave and tidal energy converter design

• Geotechnical and geophysical survey specification and data interpretation

• Consents, planning and environmental assessment

• Health & safety planning and CDM assessments

• Project management and cost control• Offshore floating turbines

We’re working closely with a number of key clients across all stages of the project lifecycle, some of our key projects include:

DONG Energy - offshore substation portfolio We’re currently undertaking the conceptual and detailed design of eight offshore substation platforms (including substructure and topsides) for DONG Energy. These include:

• HornseaProjectOne - three substations with helidecks and refuelling systems

• RaceBankwindfarm - two substations

• Walneywindfarm - two substations

• BurboBankwindfarm - one substation

By delivering a standardised design that will enable a production line approach to fabrication, we are helping DONG Energy to reduce the costs of offshore wind without compromising safety and reliability.

Dudgeon Offshore Wind Farm - turbine substructureWe have completed the concept design and are currently undertaking the detailed design of 67 individual monopiles and 67 individual transition pieces.

Through innovation and technical excellence we are expanding the capabilities of the proven monopile foundation to create a “next generation” design. With diameters greater than 7m, the monopiles will be installed at locations with water depths up to 25m – the deepest application of this foundation type to date.

Beatrice Offshore Wind Farm - turbine substructureWe are designing the turbine jacket foundations (including geotechnical engineering) for the challenging conditions at this site, where water depths range from 30m - 55m. Since our involvement began in 2011 we have completed the pre-FEED and FEED design stages and are now progressing with detailed design.

UK offshore wind farm - offshore transformer module (OTM)Siemens’ new OTM is designed to replace conventional offshore substations and reduce the costs of offshore wind energy. We are carrying out the conceptual and detailed design of two OTMs, including the substructure and OTM deck.

Galloper Array Offshore Wind FarmWe carried out the detailed design of the topside of the offshore substation, including the helideck. In addition we provided technical support through the construction, installation and commissioning phases.


Managing the asset life

Throughout our operating sectors we have asset management teams delivering strategic services to ensure the longevity and efficiency of our partners’ assets. The flow of knowledge throughout our business fosters a culture of holistic best practice, where fundamental asset concerns are managed within the framework of a thorough strategy.

We place the asset lifecycle at the very core of low cost efficient design principles and maintain a transparent collaborative approach to delivering a managed service at all stages of the lifecycle, right through to decommissioning.

Our teams in offshore renewables can provide a full range of asset management services. Notably, our recent experience includes:

• Structural integrity management and failure mode analysis

• Development of inspection and maintenance campaigns

• Design of remedial solutions for grouted connection failure in monopiles

• Geotechnical investigations of scour and exposure of buried cables.

Asset management strategiesAt two offshore wind farms, together comprising a total of 150+ offshore turbines, axial slippage in the grouted joints between transition pieces and monopiles (MPs) was observed. This resulted in the internal secondary steelwork welded to the TPs, coming into contact with the MPs, resulting in high stress concentrations around welds critical to the integrity of the primary structures. We were contacted to develop and maintain asset management strategies for all turbines at both of these wind farms.

We assessed historical inspection data and carried out stress analysis and fracture mechanics calculations to predict safe-lives of known and postulated defects. Our conclusions were translated into an asset management strategy with a clear set of guidelines for inspection. This enabled our client to apply the engineering judgement within the strategy without

requiring a detailed knowledge of fracture mechanics. We continue to use the latest inspection data to validate and update the client’s asset management strategy.

Fatigue life studies and managementThe jacket foundations for an offshore substation were fabricated with details that were not accounted for in the original design analysis. Post-installation, the asset owner contacted us to carry out a study to ascertain the true fatigue life of the as-manufactured jacket structure.

We are currently developing detailed structural models using a range of finite element analysis packages to determine the fatigue life of the structure.

In the event that the fatigue life is lower than the intended design life of the structure, we are developing a medium to long term condition monitoring strategy. This will enable the substation to be operated with

adequate risk management in place, while a permanent remediation solution is designed and implemented.

Grouted joint remediationAt a number of wind farms the failure of grouted connections between the monopile and the transition piece has caused the wind turbine tower structure to slip downwards. In order to arrest this slippage we have, in parallel with our asset management strategies, designed remediation solutions to provide alternative axial load paths for the primary structures.

Our solutions prescribed the installation of new steel brackets and elastomeric bearings between the transition piece and monopile. The bearings provide a flexible axial load path from the transition piece to the monopile which bypasses the failed grouted connection, allowing for continued operation of the wind turbines and substations to their intended design lives.

Hydroelectricity

Grand River Dam Authority, Salinapumped-storageprojectWe provided full architectural and engineering services for this 260MW pumped storage project. The project includes six reversible vertical Francis turbines operating at 80m of head, a 70m high earth dam, concrete canal and forebay, and 4m diameter penstocks.

Additionally, we continue to provide services for the project including FERC Part 12 Dam Safety Inspection services, instrumentation installation and monitoring, stability analysis, and a seepage reduction program which included a clay blanket and grouting program.

Restormel Borough Council, HydroelectricplantauditandevaluationWe were appointed to carry out a detailed audit evaluation and financial analysis of the existing hydroelectric plant in the Luxulyan Valley. The condition and performance of the Ponts Mill Turbine plant, from water intake to supply of electricity, was inspected and reviewed.

Confidential Client, SurgesimulationandvibrationassessmentFollowing a re-planting of a 30MW hydro station in the UK (2x15MW Francis turbines replacing 4x6MW Pelton turbines) there were significant problems with surge and mechanical vibrations. We were called in to perform a plant surge simulation and find a solution to the poor performance.

Running computer simulations of the system, coupled with a suite of measurements for calibration purposes, we were able to demonstrate that draft tube surging was driving hydraulic resonance in the penstocks.

Instituto Nacional de Recursos Hidraulicos, AquacatehydropowerprojectAs a member of an international consortium, we provided design and construction engineering services for this 200MW hydroelectric project on the Nizao River in the Dominican Republic.

Our responsibilities involved powerhouse design, including electrical and mechanical equipment, hydraulic plan preparation for the powerhouse and review of hydrological documents on turbine and generator sizing.

Biomass and waste to energy


New-Build Biomass Combined Heat and Power Plant, RWEnPowerRenewables(Markinch)LtdRWE nPower Renewables are constructing a new, state-of-the-art 49.9 MWe Biomass Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant to replace an ageing coal and gas fired plant. The plant will burn both virgin and recycled wood to satisfy all of the process steam and electricity requirements for the neighbouring Tullis Russell papermill. Surplus electricity will be exported to the National Grid.

Providing owner’s engineering support, we have been integral to the project through pre-feasibility, FEED and attainment of RWE board sanction. The project is now in the implementation phase and is being delivered on an Engineer, Procure and Construct (EPC) basis.

Lynemouth Power Station Biomass Conversion, RioTintoAlcanBuilt in 1972, the 400 MW, coal fired Lynemouth power station in Northumberland was facing closure

due to the implementation of stricter European emissions regulations. Inorder to remain operational and secure local jobs, the decision was takento replace coal with biomass as the station’s main source of fuel. We were heavily involved in the full scale coal-to- biomass conversion project includingfull technical specifications, material handling, boiler performance and emissions assessments.

Glasgow Recycling and Renewable Energy Centre, Viridor, UKWe’re supporting the design and construction of an energy from waste facility in Glasgow, that will produce enough energy to power the equivalent of 22,000 households and has potential to heat around 8,000 homes. We supported the development of the process design for the Advanced Combustion Facility to 'Approved for Design' status. Thereafter we supported the development of detailed mechanical, eleectrical, instrumentation and control systems designs, as well as providing significant guidance and oversight of hazard studies and process management.

Muja power station - Biomass Co-firing Feasibility Study,VinalcoWe carried out a multi-stage feasibility study into the possibility for co-firing at the 1GW Muja Power Station located in Western Australia.

The first stage of the feasibility study focussed on considering the existing infrastructure and its suitability in terms of location, capacity and design parameters and investigated the impact of co-firing.

The second phase was focussed on fuel, emissions, ash and environmental considerations including issues associated with fuel supply, environmental consenting and ash disposal.

The third phase focussed on the development of the business case for the preferred route forward – in this particular case it was co-firing rather than full conversion.

Our projects


Tidal energyThrough our current involvement in a revolutionary tidal energy project in the UK we are supporting and investing in the future of this renewable energy source.


Our projects

Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon We’re providing specialist design and engineering support to help Tidal Lagoon Swansea Bay Plc create the world’s first power-generating tidal lagoon in Wales, UK.

With a 320MW installed capacity and 14 hours of reliable generation every day, Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon will capture enough renewable energy to power over 155,000 homes for 120 years.

As the client’s chief engineer, Atkins is producing outline designs for the breakwater, turbine house and ancillary works and supporting the tender process by helping develop documents and reviewing responses and detailed designs. Once a design and build contractor is appointed and construction work starts, we will also provide a range of site supervision, auditing and technical verification.


SolarSolar energy today is one of the most established forms of renewable energy. The contributions from this well understood technology are helping accelerate our shift towards a low-carbon society.Working closely with solar energy industry, we provide engineering, environmental, and construction management services. Our staff have worked on distributed and utility-scale solar projects for public and private clients in the UK and across the United States.

Our projects

Tri-Cities Regional Airport Energy Study, Blountville,TennesseeWe are performing a solar feasibility study for the Tri-Cities Regional Airport in conjunction with an energy efficiency study. Tasks include identifying potential places for the optimal location of the solar farm (taking into account future development areas), solar portfolio strategies, funding mechanisms and various project structures, and a phased approach to implementing a solar portfolio strategy for the airport.

Solar Facilities, VariousU.S.LocationsIn conjunction with ESA Renewables we have worked together to provide turnkey solar PV energy solutions to help smaller communities reduce their reliance on conventional sources of energy. We have provided site, electrical, power, and structural engineering for numerous projects in locations including the following:

• Craven County, North Carolina (1.3 MW)

• Culberson, North Carolina (1 MW)• Martins Creek, North Carolina (1

MW)• Wingate, North Carolina (1 MW)• Blairsville, GA (1 MW).

Domestic PV Network Modelling, UK UK Power Networks (UKPN) regularly receive enquiries from developers for new or upgraded domestic connections. Many developers wished to take advantage of the sunshine in the south east, and offer PV cells as a standard feature in their housing. As a result, UKPN urgently needed to understand the impact of a significant concentration of domestic PV cells on the LV distribution network.

We created a number of network models which could reflect the LV distribution network, with an increasing quantity of PV cells. Even though each individual property might only be generating a few hundred watts, the cumulative effect on an entire housing estate of typically one hundred dwellings generating at the same moment in time was significant. We provided UKPN with an interpretation of the study, which enabled them to develop a set of planning guideline for use with their networks design team.

Barceloneta Solar Facility, Barceloneta,PuertoRicoThe proposed 20-MW solar facility was to be located on a 160-acre former pineapple plantation that had been abandoned for at least 10 years. We assisted the owner with the regulatory and technical processes of establishing the PV project, acquiring a lease for the right-of-way, and connecting it to the grid.

We provided site selection, electrical right-of-way selection for the transmission line, compliance with Puerto Rico Environmental Policy Act and a siting consultation. Studies included flora and fauna, tree inventory, habitat classification and certification, soils, groundwater level, percolation testing, and an archaeological evaluation. We met with regulatory agencies, Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority, and Puerto Rico Department of Transportation to facilitate open and honest discussions that ensured all stakeholders’ requirements were met.
