Our Work
Atkins began supporting clients in the conventional power (i.e. fossil fuels) industry in 1975. Since then, we have acquired a vast amount of experience in planning, designing and enabling our clients’ projects. These have ranged from large 4GW coal fired power stations to small combined heat and power plants of less than 2MW.
We offer an outstanding multidisciplinary team of consultants with a diverse range of skills and capabilities. Our expertise includes both traditional and emerging technologies within the following categories:
- Coal fired plant
- Oil fired plant
- Combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) plant
- Combined heat and power (CHP) plant
We provide the following services across the range of power plants:
- Commercial/technical feasibility study
- Detailed design
- Plant integrity assessment
- Creep and fatigue assessment
- Structural assessment
- Plant survey and review
- Project development
- Planning advice/compliance
- Construction management
- Owners engineer
- Commercial/technical due diligence
- Environmental impact assessment
- Operations maintenance
We always tailor our services to meet each client’s individual requirements. This allows us to support and implement projects of all sizes and at all stages of development. For instance, we can support small specialised projects requiring a consultant engineer for one day. At the other end of the spectrum, we can draw on expertise from across the Atkins Group to offer a one stop shop service that fully integrates the design, construction, finance and operational activities of a power plant.
