Our people’s breadth and depth of expertise and drive to ask why has allowed us to plan, design and enable some of the world’s most complex and time critical projects including integrated urban development projects and strategies, metro and transport systems, ports, special economic zones and housing programmes and plans as well as strategies for energy security and water resources. We have a long track record in making innovation a full part of what we do across all sectors and bring collaboration, insight, tools and thought leadership to our clients and partners.
Capabilities in sustainable urbanisation sectors Our focus is on Future Cities, Environmental Resilience and Energy Security. We have worked with national governments, cities, service providers and developers to prepare and co-­‐create plans and projects for urban development, infrastructure, environmental and economic development initiatives. These respond to existing and future needs in ways which are integrated and smart and which deliver tangible economic, social and environmental benefits. We are able to bring advice on leveraging investment and developing strategies for implementation and delivery. Experience in international R&D collaboration Atkins has a significant track record in leading and supporting collaborative research and innovation working with national government, city authorities, private sector partners, civil society and academia. Examples include our global work on Future Proofing Cities; development and application of eco-­‐low carbon standards for urban development in China; using mobile phone data to assist transport planning and urban management; working in India to develop with city, state, civil society and UK academic partners strategies for future proofing cities; working with energy companies in Nigeria to explore mechanisms for selecting and applying low carbon technologies; hosting a platform with the Carbon Trust for roll out of low carbon technologies in the UK; working with the World Resources Institute to develop solutions to address water-­‐energy nexus challenges; developing low carbon tools focused for the transport sector in Bahrain; and working with national development bank and city partner in Colombia to develop a sub-­‐regional planning framework and urban regeneration model to catalyse economic development.

We provide innovative engineering and technology-­‐led solutions to meet the needs of our customers. The company was founded in Liverpool in 1865 and now has over 3,300 employees working across the UK. We offer advisory and concept development, specialist design, programme management, complex project delivery, technology integration and asset optimisation and support. The company’s reported revenues for the financial year ended 31 December 2014 was £1.1Bn. Capabilities in sustainable urbanisation sectors Our current projects deliver infrastructure for the UK’s current and future needs. The development of intelligent solutions within infrastructure is key to the future cities agenda, and we are continually looking to deliver more innovative solutions within our sectors. We also engage in front-­‐end design within the energy sector, providing new technologies to ensure our energy supply is resilient and sustainable. Experience in international R&D collaboration Costain are the principal sponsor of the Materials for Life programme, a £2m collaborative research programme involving Cardiff, Bath and Cambridge Universities and funded by the Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council. Costain have given £600,000 in in-­‐kind contribution to the research, which includes staff time and resources as well as the provision of live UK construction projects for the purposes of trialling the developed material.

The technology is an innovative piston engine ‘fuelled’ by liquid nitrogen (or air) and efficiently produces mechanical power, electricity and cooling. Applications under commercial development include for transport refrigeration and air-­‐conditioning, auxiliary power provision and a diesel generator replacement. Capabilities in sustainable urbanisation sectors Dearman helps reconcile urbanisation and economic growth with climate change and sustainability by delivering zero-­‐emissions power and cooling and improves energy security through reducing diesel dependence and harnessing renewable energy. Rapid urbanisation coupled to rising incomes is expected to lead to increased cooling demand in the form of static and mobile refrigeration (cold chain) for safe and nutritious food supply and medical services, as well as in building and transport air-­‐conditioning to meet higher expectations of comfort. If this rising demand is satisfied using conventional fossil fuel technologies the cost will be worsening public health through poorer air quality, increased climate risks and energy insecurity. Dearman’s techno-­‐economic capabilities and commercially viable engine applications can help avoid these outcomes and contribute to improved urban resilience and citizen well being in future cities. Experience in international R&D collaboration Dearman has extensive experience of UK R&D collaboration (we are partnered on 3 Innovate UK IDP projects, in 2 of which we are lead partner) with a wide range of industrial and research organisations including Air Products, Zanotti, MIRA, MTC, Productiv, Loughborough University and Birmingham University. A recently won Innovate UK POC grant has begun to examine the use of waste cold from LNG regasification in liquid nitrogen production and will includes relationships with stakeholders in Singapore, India and Spain. We have also worked extensively with the NCCD in India and Postharvest Education Foundation in USA on techno-­‐economic modelling.

For well over a decade this technology has been used by many of the world’s leading building design and contracting companies to substantially reduce energy consumption in buildings and the IES <VE> is now one of the world’s leading software for Dynamic Simulation Modelling of Buildings. In the last 5 years, IES have expanded our suite of software tools to include capabilities for energy retrofit of buildings, integration of renewables, Measurement and Verification (M&V) and Fault Detection and Diagnosis (FDD) for buildings in-­‐use and most recently software for masterplanning of cities. Capabilities in sustainable urbanisation sectors The IES suite of existing and new innovative software tools all form part of the IES Smart Community Lifecycle (SCL). IES has not only developed the concept of a virtual masterplan as the foundation of a continued managed process; but we also have the research, technology and expertise to start implementing it. Importantly, the IES SCL process is scalable to any size of ‘community’. The process has four key elements: (1) Masterplanning, (2) New Design and/or Retrofit of buildings, (3) Improved Building Operation and (4) Smart Communities. Through IES technology it is possible for a ‘Smart Community’ to prove its sustainability credentials. IES is currently working closely with a large group of global industry experts, such as Gensler, ESRI (ArcGIS) and Siemens Ag to enhance our capability within the SCL process. Experience in international R&D collaboration IES has experience with 24 R&D projects, both through UK and EU funded programmes. We are involved in 15 on-­‐going EU projects through funding streams such as FP7 and H2020 and have seen through to completion 9 R&D projects through the EU, UK (TSB and SBRI) and Smart: Scotland. We have coordinated 6 projects, 4 of which are ongoing and 2 of which have led to successful marketable products. IES R&D is a large part of our business as it has allowed the business to grow and develop in new and emerging markets during a time of recession.
