We're helping to deliver Network Rail's major digital railway transformation programme across the East Coast Main Line (ECML), East Midlands and TransPennine routes to improve the passenger experience. AtkinsRéalis collaboratively support the cross-industry delivery of The East Coast Digital Programme, which includes introducing in-cab European Train Control System digital signalling and Traffic Management across the ECML route.

AtkinsRéalis' role is focused on the delivery of the integrated delivery office. This includes the integration of Programme Management Office, Programme Controls, Change Controls, Reporting, Risk Management, Planning & Scheduling, Programme Assurance and Information Management.

Our Appointment – due to our extensive experience with complex heritage refurbishment projects AtkinsRéalis were appointed to provide multidisciplinary services from inception. The Grade A-listed Old Royal Infirmary building lay dormant and uninhabited for over a decade accelerating its decay and deterioration. The building was in extremely poor condition, with significant asbestos, multiple layers of finishes, concealed rooms, structural instability and rot. Our strategy to derisk the development involved four enabling works packages to strip the building back to its original fabric. This structure minimised client exposure to significant prelims and potential overruns due to unknowns.

With a huge estate of schools across the UK, the Department for Education (DfE) needed to get an accurate overview of these assets. With more than 180 in-house building surveyors, we are industry leaders in delivering complex, national survey programmes. This led to AtkinsRéalis being one of four consultants appointed by the DofE as part of a team to deliver one of the largest ever Condition Data Collection (CDC) programmes in the UK. Between 2016 and 2019 all government-funded schools in England were surveyed. This involved around 22,000 schools with 63,000 buildings of over 78m m2 of floor space, plus 261 further education (FE) colleges with around 2m m2 of floor space.

The Mayfield Development Partnership plans to create a £850m mixed-use community, transforming the area into a high-quality urban neighbourhood. AtkinsRéalis led the masterplan team for this major redevelopment, providing project management, cost consultancy, employer’s agent, and principal design services.

Sizewell C will be the second new 3.2 GW nuclear power station built in the UK, replacing fossil fuel power to avoid nearly nine million tonnes of carbon emissions yearly. Building on our experience as a key delivery partner for EDF Energy's existing nuclear fleet and Hinkley Point C in Somerset, we have supported Sizewell C since its inception in 2014. 

We have helped to identify ways to maximize replication from the Hinkley Point C nuclear power station, supporting EDF in reducing construction costs and speeding up the construction process. The team includes Project Controls Engineers, Project Controls Managers, Risk, Estimating, Planning and Cost Engineers.

The UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) carries out fusion energy research on behalf of the UK Government. Fusion has huge potential as a low-carbon energy source. It is environmentally responsible and safe, using abundant and sustainable fuel. As a strategic supplier to UKAEA, AtkinsRéalis is supporting key programmes, including the Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP) Programme, Hydrogen-3 Advanced Technology (H3AT) facility, and Joint European Torus (JET) decommissioning and repurposing programme.

STEP is an internationally significant programme intended to deliver the world's first fully-integrated prototype energy plant to prove the viability of producing net electrical output with net zero emissions. The principal mission of the programme is to lead the commercial development of fusion power and related technology and position the UK as a leader in sustainable fusion energy.
