Plan Design Enable

Atkins is one of the world’s leading engineering and design consultancies. We have the depth and breadth of technical expertise to respond both to the complex challenges of major infrastructure projects, and the urgent transition to a low-carbon economy. Whether it’s the concept for a new skyscraper, the upgrade of a rail network, the modelling of a flood defence system or the improvement of a management process, we plan, design and enable solutions.

Multidisciplinary capability

Our rail services are delivered via an integrated workforce located in the UK, Scandinavia, China, India and the Middle East. Thanks to this global resource of dedicated professionals, we are able to call upon unrivalled experience and expertise to provide solutions which satisfy all stakeholders.

Atkins’ multidisciplinary capability spans entire project lifecycles in the mass transit and heavy rail markets. A snapshot of projects we’re currently involved in include Dubai Metro, South Africa’s Gautrain Rapid Rail Link and Denmark’s ERTMS implementation. Closer to home, our expertise is being utilised on numerous high-profile schemes such as Crossrail, Thameslink and the South Wales Resignalling Programme.

 Environmental responsibility

Our work is increasingly guided by environmental sustainability as we strive to mitigate the effects of climate change across the engineering and design sector. We firmly believe that carbon has to be a key driver in our industry and as a result, we continue to focus on the role that planners, engineers and architects have to perform to respond to the changes, challenges and opportunities of a carbon critical economy.

Shaping the industry

A capacity to positively influence the industry as it continues to evolve sees us actively participate in key forums which shape the future of rail transport in the UK. Placing great emphasis on exploring avenues which may benefit the industry, we use our in-depth rail domain knowledge to facilitate the introduction of new technologies and approaches from other sectors - we navigate those who are unfamiliar with what can be a complex market.

Safety first

As one of the world’s foremost engineering and design firms, Atkins universally acknowledges its responsibility to health and safety. Via numerous communication channels, we continue to work with industry to improve safety standards, whilst ensuring that the principles of safety leadership are embedded throughout our business.
