Our water practice
Atkins leads the market in intelligent infrastructure design and project management, for a sustainable, human, lived environment. Our clients in the water industry not only work with one of the most complex, ever-changing resources, they work with one of the most important.
While pipes, pumps, sewers and ditches make up the core assets of collection systems, managing sewage flows and surface run-off involves much more than that. Our people help clients manage their systems through detailed analysis and designing solutions that are cost-effective, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly.
Many of the existing wastewater and stormwater collection networks our clients are working with were built generations ago. They were not designed for today’s population level, or for the changes brought about by global warming.
Our engineers, always up-to-date on the best technology and climate change scenarios, help communities cope with these challenges.
We assist asset owners in understanding their complex systems. This can be done by analysing current performance and then predicting future trends. Modelling is essential for this type of work because it shows what to do long before issues become problems.
When flooding does happen, our work reduces the impact. Not only do we design and implement flood alleviation schemes, but we also develop strategies to guide sustainable management of flood risk in catchments and urban areas.
