Our clients’ challenges
• Poor historic records and information
• Loss of knowledge as current workforce retires
• High hazard environment (from operating nuclear power
stations to legacy waste repositories)
• High levels of design assurance and confidence in solutions
required
• Constant pressure to deliver value, faster and cheaper

Computer Aided
Engineering (CAE)
• Part of Atkins’ Smart
Technology offering
• Based around techniques
for Reality Capture and
Visualisation
• Reality capture is the
generation of accurate 3D
environments through data
capture (laser scanning,
photogrammetry, drones, etc.)
• Visualisation is its
presentation through
interactive documentation,
animations, Augmented
Reality (AR) and Virtual
Reality (VR)Sellafield

Pre-design stage Design stage Post-design stage
• Increased volume of
data
• Less time at risk
• Reduced site visits
• Increased speed of
inspection
• Walk-through of scan data
• Increased understanding
• Stakeholder engagement
• Highlight hazards,
constraints and risks early
in the design process
• Right first time approach
• Design directly in scanned
environment
• Design reviews / HAZOPs
• O&M
• Human Factors
• Stakeholder engagement
• Effective transfer of data
between interested
parties e.g. interactive
documentation
• As-built condition
• Periodic monitoring over
long installation timescales
• Capture for
decommissioning
• Import to ‘Master Model’
• Ongoing / long term
asset management
• O&M training
• Stakeholder engagement
• Integrate with programme
• Critical path visualisation
• Construction / outage
planning

Complete project lifecycle application
Atkins’ approach
23 June 2017 7
Three key principles
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
