Cities around the world are facing a housing crisis. In countries like the UK, local authorities struggle to finance projects and to find space for development. While, in faster growing and younger cities, it can be a challenge to ensure services and infrastructure are developed at the same pace as new housing. Zoe Metcalfe, Client Director, Local and Central Government UK at AtkinsRéalis is one of three guests who speaks on our Building Communities podcast. This episode explores how putting together a well designed urban plan can present opportunities for investors, and the construction supply chain as a whole.

Our digital teams have taken part in technical showcases at EDF (UK) Hinkley Point C recently to demonstrate some of the technology and software that’s helping to securely capture and visualise data at major projects, from the use of drones and robotic dogs to monitor sites, to the VR technology and immersive rooms that bring the data to life for remote teams. This virtual site access is just one of the ways that data and technology is helping to drive efficiency, safety and sustainability across the nuclear life cycle. You can find out more about the potential of digital in our recent report here: https://brnw.ch/21wIDSH #DigitalTransformation #Innovation #NuclearEnergy

Over the weekend, National Highways implemented crucial improvements to the M25, requiring its first full closure since completion in 1986. AtkinsRéalis, in collaboration with National Highways, Balfour Beatty plc and supply chain partners, ensured the success of this milestone through a combination of high-quality design and construction planning. The closure facilitated the demolition of the Clearmount bridleway bridge and the installation of the UK's heaviest motorway gantry. Weighing 128 tonnes and spanning 63 metres (equivalent to the length of six double-decker buses), the gantry is a testament to innovative engineering achieved by an innovative, automated design tool. Additional closures are planned as this project continues, but the public has shown patience and understanding. #M25 #M25Improvements #infrastructure #highways

Working with Spains Hall Estate, we have worked to reintroduce beavers to East Anglia, reducing flood and drought impact over five years. Facts about the beaver family: 🏞️ In 2019, the first pair of beavers were released in East Anglia for the first time in more than 400 years 🌲They roam a 10-acre woodland stream 🌊They've built nine dams storing 3 million litres of water 🌳This covers a quarter of the woodland This collaboration demonstrates the impact of nature-based solutions in tackling climate challenges.

We've been appointed by the UK's Nuclear Waste Services Geological Disposal Facility to support their mission to make nuclear permanently safer, sooner. We'll be delivering the Major Permissions programme alongside WSP in this important step in the search for a suitable site and willing community to host the UK's first facility of its kind. We will be focusing on community engagement, environmental assessments, and securing necessary permits for geotechnical investigations.
