Our markets

a construction site

Energy

Delivering major infrastructure programmes across the energy sector, our team is involved in everything from large-scale nuclear power stations to next generation technologies including experimental fusion and Small Modular Reactors (SMR) with partners such as Rolls-Royce and GBE-N.

Beyond nuclear, we contribute to developing renewable energy solutions, including both onshore and offshore wind. In parallel, we play a key role in enabling the energy transition by supporting the upgrade and expansion of the National Grid infrastructure whether that is through substation upgrades or the wider transmition network.

Our services span from design all the way through to construction site support and demolition. We have a strong track record for delivering complex projects and providing novel solutions to suit the client needs.

Within this sector we use our expert domain knowledge, coupled with our digital capabilities to develop and deploy tools which allow the team to model complex behaviours, optimise designs and reliably predict the performance of civil and structural systems.

 Notable projects include:

  • Greater Gabbard Windfarm
  • ITER
  • Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C
  • Rolls Royce SMR
