PUBLIC SECTOR IMPLEMENTATION


As one of the world’s leading design, engineering and project management consultancies, we’ve been working closely with the government and our industry colleagues to encourage others to realise the benefits of BIM.


This has given us the deep knowledge and experience to help our clients implement a successful BIM strategy on their projects.


We are providing advice to the UK government on its BIM strategy. A number of key government agencies also seek Atkins’ advice on the strategic implementation of BIM. These include the Highways Agency, Environment Agency and Network Rail.


ESTABLISHING BEST PRACTICE


Atkins is a member of the Institution of Civil Engineers’ BIM steering group, which is linked to the Association of Geographic Information. We’ve designed and facilitated a series of workshops to help establish best practice in BIM implementation and can work with our clients to advise on its adoption. We also believe in demonstrating leadership ourselves - we were one of the first companies to adopt BS11000, which provides guidance on successful approaches to collaborative working within the supply chain and ultimately helps us to help our clients make better decisions.


OUR PEOPLE


Through our involvement in many projects worldwide and across a range of sectors which have used BIM, our people have been able to learn some important lessons which can be applied to our clients’ benefit. This, along with cross- industry thinking and wider best practice, can be applied to benefit our clients on their projects..


BIM provides a step change in the way the supply chain works together and with clients. We understand the value of collaboration and through BIM our people will embrace a ‘one-team’ approach to our clients’ challenges to achieve success.


Atkins is implementing consistent BIM standards across our entire operations so you will always know what you can expect from us.
