Our projects
Some of our projects in the Water sector.
Havant Thicket Reservoir
Havant Thicket Reservoir is a major water resilience project designed to help secure future water supply while creating wider environmental and community value. Developing the UK’s first major surface water reservoir in 30 years required navigating complex technical, environmental and regulatory challenges. We prepared high quality planning applications and led comprehensive stakeholder engagement, securing planning permissions first time without post submission design changes.
By establishing an agreed planning strategy at the outset, we reduced risk early, identified potential design issues before they became bigger problems, and supported proactive engagement with stakeholders and the local community. As a result, we were delighted to be awarded the CIEEM Best Practice Award for Stakeholder Engagement, reflecting the project's exceptional inclusivity and collaboration with local communities and environmental groups.
The team also addressed complex environmental issues, including mitigation for the loss of ancient woodland, geotechnical and geoenvironmental risks, and compliance with the Water Framework Directive, with no objections from statutory environmental bodies. The result reflects the strength of multidisciplinary collaboration and a balanced approach to water infrastructure, biodiversity, and community benefit.
Spains Hall Estate Beaver Reintroduction project
This pioneering nature based solution helps mitigate flooding in Finchingfield, a historic village in northwest Essex. Working with Spains Hall Estate, the Environment Agency, and King’s College London, AtkinsRéalis supported a project that reintroduced beavers to a woodland stream for the first time in over 400 years in East Anglia.
The beavers have since transformed water movement across the estate, with dams creating ponds that store significant volumes of water and slow downstream flow during heavy rainfall.
Our role included advanced hydrological and ecological modeling to understand the wider effects of beaver activity and to help shape a Whole Farm Reservoir approach that identified where water could be stored naturally across the estate. We also created an animation to support stakeholder engagement and illustrate how the landscape and hydrology changed over time. Combined with drone survey data gathered by King’s College London, the project is building valuable evidence for long term flood resilience, biodiversity gain, and the wider application of nature based solutions.
Cardiff Canal Quarter
Cardiff Canal Quarter reconnects city, water, and community through a regeneration project that brings environmental performance and public value together. Featuring sustainable drainage solutions, climate resilient planting and floating wetlands to reduce both flooding and energy demands for water treatment; we took key decisions governed by a commitment to reducing carbon and waste.
The scheme aligns with the Well being of Future Generations Act 2015 in Wales, demonstrating how environmental design can support long term social and ecological benefits as part of wider city regeneration.
"At AtkinsRéalis, the supportive environment of colleagues, line managers, and senior management has significantly enabled my professional growth.”
