We don t just imagine, we have the power to transform potential into reality Our proven track record in delivering complex solutions is made possible by the collective breadth and depth of expertise,

4 We don t just imagine, we have the power to transform potential into reality Our proven track record in delivering complex solutions is made possible by the collective breadth and depth of expertise, experience and resources of our people and businesses around the world Top 20 Established in 1938 We have over 75 years of experience in delivering projects that make a difference Top 20 global design firm We re recognised as one of the top 20 global design firms* * ENR

5 We re always focused on our clients Our work spans many different sectors but our approach is always the same. Whatever the industry, we strive to build strong relationships by understanding the challenges our clients face, sharing their vision and helping them to transform potential into reality. 5

6 These are just some of the people we re proud to work with We work closely with a wide range of clients from different sectors and regions across public sector, private sector and local and national governments. Abu Dhabi Municipality Airbus Ashghal BAE Systems Banedanmark (RailDenmark) BP Carillion Construction China Harbour Engineering Company Colorado Department of Transportation Crossrail EDF Energy EMAAR Florida Department of Transportation Heathrow Airport High Speed 2 Highways England Hitachi Ministry of Defence Ministry of Municipality & Urban Planning (MMUP) Qatar MTR Corporation Network Rail Rolls Royce Sellafield Ltd Texas Department of Transportation Thames Water Trafikverket Transport for London UK Environment Agency Urenco UK US Army Corps of Engineers NB client list is for example only and does not represent every client that Atkins is currently working with. 6

9 Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) We believe that CAE is of crucial and growing importance to engineering projects worldwide and that utilising new methods to deliver more effective solutions should be part of normal business. By helping our clients maximise opportunities to utilise CAE technology, projects can benefit from increasingly innovative, efficient and cost effective solutions throughout the project lifecycle. 28 April

10 Our Approach Why Atkins? We believe that CAE offers an engineering enhancement toolkit for the full lifecycle of a project There are three key principles which govern our unique approach 28 April

11 Our Approach Why Atkins? Full Lifecycle Enhance standard projects, through effective use of new technology Maximise opportunities for projects to benefit from the early concept phase to completion. Focussed Solving specific problems for clients in the most effective and efficient way possible. Apply technology in an innovative way tailored to clients needs. Fully Integrated Incorporate CAE techniques with engineering solutions as part of normal business. Standards for consistent use and continuous improvement / development. Integrated network of in-house scanning capability, equipment, data management and software design teams to efficiently deliver the full solution to our clients. 28 April

12 Uses of CAE Developing Designs Asset Management Installation Strategy Development Design Reviews Damage / Condition Assessment As Built Record Compatibility Assessment Virtual Installation Test Outage Planning & Optimisation Human Factors Walkdown And many more 28 April

13 Benefits of CAE Significant time and cost savings throughout project lifecycle Reduced time on site / visits Thorough high accuracy models Minimised H&S risk Improved / easier stakeholder engagement De-risked installations / modifications Increased understanding of plant status Range of alternative reality capture techniques compared to conventional methods And many more 28 April

14 Complete Lifecycle Application Pre-design Stage Design Stage Post-design Stage Reality Capture Increased volume of data Less time at risk Infrared capability Consumable Reduced site visits Increased speed of inspection Right first time approach Design directly in scan environment As-built scan Periodic monitoring over long installation timescales. Capture for decommissioning Import to Master Model Visualisation Walk through of scan data Increased understanding Stakeholder engagement Highlight hazards, constraints and risks early on in the design process. Design review / HAZOPs Operations and maintenance Human Factors Stakeholder engagement Effective transfer of data across all interested parties e.g. interactive documentation Operator and maintenance Training Stakeholder engagement Integration of data with programme i.e. critical path visualisation and construction planning and outage planning Long term asset management Scalability & Future Developments 28 April

15 Using FARO Equipment Atkins use FARO as their CAE software / hardware provider 28 April

16 Autodesk EBA Atkins has access to over 64 desktop products, covering 4 product versions (2014 to 2017) 2018 products issued soon. Recap 360 Pro Inventor Revit Navisworks AutoCAD 08 May

17 Case Studies Our energy business is an international provider of high-end design and engineering for the oil and gas, nuclear, renewables, electrical generation, transmission and distribution sectors. We deliver innovative technical solutions for some of the industry s greatest challenges, using specialised technologies such as Computer Aided Engineering (CAE). 28 April
