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

Defense

From upgrading the UK's submarine dockyards to developing test facilities for the latest technology, we help defence clients maintain and modernise the infrastructure and assets that underpin national security. Our work helps clients build and maintain their resilience to threats, protect operations and technologies, and maintain continuity in the face of disruption. Our work ensures that critical facilities are fit for purpose, resilient, and ready to support evolving operational demands.

Working in partnership with our clients we provide integrated engineering and technical services across the full programme lifecycle to help clients to design, deliver, certify, protect, optimize and sustain current and next-generation defence. We work to drive efficiencies and savings while optimizing safety, performance and delivery
