    JN Bentley's "Digital Design" page highlights their innovative, low-carbon engineering designs using cutting-edge digital tools and the Moata platform Back Next About us Introducing JN Bentley Vision and values Publications These are the key policy statements of JN Bentley, Mott MacDonald Bentley and JBA Bentley, setting out the commitments and responsibilities of our business. Our policies ABOUT Repeat business is the recognition that we’re looking for - but it’s nice to pick up an award or two along the way. Awards ABOUT JN Bentley Ltd is part of the global management, engineering and development consultancy Mott MacDonald, offering our clients full feasibility, design and construction services throughout the UK. Who we are ABOUT We integrate inclusion and belonging, professional and personal development, and health and wellbeing into our business culture. People OUR APPROACH Our aim is to reduce water consumption, minimise our waste, and use energy efficiently. Preserving resources OUR APPROACH We act in the best interests of our communities and society as a whole. Supporting society OUR APPROACH Digital design We use cutting edge digital tools and processes to produce engineering designs that are innovative, low carbon, and safe to build, operate, maintain and demolish. Through global enterprise agreements with industry leading technology companies, we provide our staff with the latest tools available to operate at their full potential. We use our own industry-leading digital solutions platform, Moata , to help solve our clients’ pressing problems using the power of data. An example is Moata Carbon Portal , which is used across all of our projects, standardising the way we calculate and reduce embodied carbon in the assets we design and construct for our clients. Case study: BIM 360/Autodesk Construction cloud BIM 360 is a common data environment (CDE) that we use to manage our graphical data. It supports informed decision-making throughout the project lifecycle for project design and construction teams. It enables multiple people to access data from a single source of information where colleagues, suppliers, and our clients can collaborate at the same time, as one team. It allows team members to interact with our 3D model design, collaborate with other team members and raise issues connected with specific parts of the model. It also ensures that our designs are following our standard information management procedures. Case study: Moata solutions – Strategic Pipeline Alliance (SPA) We’re continuing to use our Moata Geospatial and Moata Land Management solutions in the Strategic Pipeline Alliance (SPA) to deliver significant savings on this important piece of national infrastructure. Moata Land Management was used to provide all parties involved in project design and delivery and members of the Alliance access to the same data through a single database. This enabled a coordinated and consistent approach to identifying landowners, managing land access and survey requests with stakeholders. The solutions alone have saved an estimated £2 million over 18 months. Moata has allowed the SPA team to efficiently analyse data and derive insights, improving outcomes. Case study: Moata solutions – Living with Water Used together, Moata Geospatial and Moata Inspect aid collaboration on project data with easy data capture, review and monitoring. Living With Water is a partnership between Yorkshire Water, Hull City Council, East Riding of Yorkshire Council, the Environment Agency and the University of Hull, working together to build flood resilience, develop innovative water management systems, and highlight the region as a great place to live, work and visit. We used Moata Geospatial and Moata Inspect to help collect digital survey data and present it on a GIS map platform with other geospatial data in a fully digital workflow. This provided a comprehensive view of the data collection and allowed the team to make informed, right first time decisions. Case study: Moata solutions - Intelligent content Moata Intelligent Content (MIC) is our digital component catalogue with easy-to-use access to a vast, fully managed library of standardised design, procurement, construction and commissioning documentation. MIC allows teams to repeat the delivery of projects to achieve our vision of increased efficiency. Intelligent Content is a vital way of using the digital knowledge capital we generate as our primary output, enabling us to deliver better services to our clients.

  • Environmental engineering | JN Bentley and Mott MacDonald Bentley

    Working collaboratively with our clients on flood protection, asset repair and more. Saltburn Gill Mine Water Treatment Scheme We have constructed a number of new mine water treatment works, including this one, at Saltburn Gill for our client The Coal Authority. Whitburn Sea Outfall We also construct sea outfalls for The Coal Authority, including this design and build project at Whitburn in the North East of England. Back Next About us Introducing JN Bentley Vision and values Publications Built in 1987 in response to severe flooding five years earlier, the Foss Barrier forms an important part of the flood defences of York. A gate can be closed to prevent rising waters in the River Ouse from backing up into the River Foss and flooding parts of the city. In December 2015 floods hit York once again, with waters rising into the electrical switch room for the incoming mains supply, rendering it inoperable. After significant involvement in the emergency response to the floods we were then engaged by the EA to deliver permanent upgrade works on site. At the core of these works is an upgrade to the Foss Barrier Pumping Station where we are increasing the capacity of the pumping station through the installation of eight new pumps and associated MEICA equipment. Each pump weighs 6.5 tonnes and is capable of pumping 6m³/second. The upgraded equipment will be housed within an extension to the existing building that will lift all critical equipment above the flood zone. To facilitate this, all equipment has been temporarily located on a purpose built platform.

Foss Barrier We constructed a mine water treatment works at Saltburn Gill in the North East of England to stop untreated iron stone mine water from being discharged into the natural environment. Ochre deposits were polluting 2km of watercourse, generating large ‘ochre aprons’ on the slopes of the tributary and directly preventing salmon migration, as well as threatening 1km of Saltburn beach. The works were delivered in two phases, and comprised of the construction of four settlement ponds; each with pre-cast concrete inlet, outlet and aeration cascade structures; together with a sludge drying bed and new wetland.

Saltburn Gill The first scheme we have delivered under the Coal Authority’s design and build Confluence’ framework was in the North East of England, at Whitburn Sea Outfall. A solution was required to reduce and maintain water levels by pumping from a nearby mine via a borehole to the sea. A successful test phase proved the validity of the solution – the installation of a 450m-long outfall from the mine shaft to a point 150m out at sea. To install the pipework in fragmented limestone (a rock-type susceptible to collapse), instead of drilling and then lining the void before pulling the main pipework back through, our solution saw the casing itself become the outfall pipe.

Whitburn Sea Outfall A significant number of our schemes involve working with clients such as the EA to implement preventative measures to guard against issues such as flooding. A tidal surge in early December 2013 caused widespread disruption along the East Coast, with many properties flooded and extensive erosion of coastal areas. The surge entered the Humber and associated rivers, filling the River Ouse and then entering the Dutch River. Having identified the unstable banking on this stretch of river, delivered a three-phase scheme to reduce the risk of flooding to surrounding areas and properties at times of high tides. The solution has seen us construct a permanent flood defence using a combination of sheet and continuous flight auger (CFA) piling, steel tendons and rock armour to reinforce the embankment. Over £1m was invested in the temporary works at Chantry Cottages, including 25,000 tonnes of stone used for ramps and piling platforms, some of which has since been reused on other schemes. These temporary works were crucial in enabling the permanent works to be delivered safely.

Chantry Cottages In 2016, the EA awarded us an extension to our Asset Repair Programme of Works (ARPW), taking it through to October 2018. The extension is reward for the hard work and dedication of the teams involved in the framework since its inception in October 2014. They have developed great relationships with the client, delivering safe, efficient and sustainable solutions across a large geographical area. The ARPW is largely focused on improving the condition of flood defences that protect properties, critical infrastructure and prime agricultural land from both fluvial and tidal flooding. Both teamwork and leadership have been essential to the successful delivery of a challenging programme. Key too has been the streamlining and pooling of construction activities and resources, driving a reduction in costs, delivery duration and carbon footprint.

Asset Recovery Programme of Works The Coal Authority has a responsibility to treat mine water before it is discharged into the natural environment. One way of achieving this is to use a passive mine water treatment scheme. The scheme at Craig yr Aber, near Bridgend in Wales, involved the construction of two settlement ponds, two wetlands and two drying beds. These features remove iron from the water in an entirely ‘passive’ way – no chemicals are required to assist the process. Saturated ground conditions led the project team to use innovative bales made of recycled tyres to engineer the embankments on site.

Digital delivery OUR APPROACH The majority of our work in the environmental engineering sector is delivered through JBA Bentley, an integrated design and build contractor that specialises in the safe and efficient delivery of low carbon solutions. JBA Bentley’s mission is simple – the company uses its ingenuity and expertise to develop and deliver sustainable low carbon solutions that make a positive difference to our clients and our communities. JBA Bentley was formed back in 2013 when JBA Consulting – one of Europe’s leading specialists in environmental engineering and management – joined forces with national civil engineering contractor JN Bentley. Its first client was the Environment Agency (EA); in the years since, JBA Bentley has established itself as a highly reputable framework supplier to the EA as part of their Water and Environmental Management (WEM), Marine and Coastal (MCF), and Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management (FCERM) Central Hub frameworks. As JN Bentley and more recently JBA Bentley, we have also worked with the Coal Authority since 2004. Projects have predominantly involved the delivery of projects that treat water discharged from abandoned mines across the UK. We work at not only traditional coal mines, but metal mines too. We have wide experience of land drainage works for the Internal Drainage Boards and have constructed surface water storage systems and pumping stations. We have also applied sustainable urban drainage (SuDS) techniques to our projects in areas of hardstanding with our commercial clients. Environment Throughout the history of JN Bentley, much of our work has been associated with water and the water environment through work with water companies, local authorities, the Coal Authority and more recently, the Environment Agency.

  • Highways | JN Bentley and Mott MacDonald Bentley

    Navigate the future with JN Bentley's highways solutions. We drive innovation in infrastructure, ensuring safe and efficient road networks North Wales Trunk Road Under a framework for North and Mid Wales Trunk Road Agency we deliver works such as the installation of noise mitigation and vehicle restraint barriers, like these pictured on the A55. Rampside Sea Wall In the North West of England we renewed the current sea wall by placing new rock armour wall to ensure it provided protection to the coast for years to come. Baitings Gate Bridge This project at Baitings Reservoir saw us marry our knowledge of the water industry with our highways expertise. We replaced the 105m bridge deck and constructed new bearings. Back Next About us Introducing JN Bentley Vision and values Publications Baitings Gate Bridge, which crosses the upstream end of Baitings Impounding Reservoir near Ripponden, West Yorkshire, required significant structural alterations. The brief for the project included the removal of the existing bridge deck structure, refurbishment of the pier heads where required, and construction of a new deck and bearings, designed and constructed to modern bridge standards. Operational constraints on water level led the team to propose a barge and crane arrangement (both in demolition and construction). The project utilised pre-cast concrete products and Building Information Modelling (BIM) to ensure efficient delivery.

Through this experience, we know how important it is to deliver projects with minimal disruption to members of the public. Where access through the site needs to be maintained, we understand the additional responsibility to protect members of the general public, as well as our own construction teams, operating to stringent operational safety standards. In our history we have undertaken a wide variety of projects and built lasting relationships with local authorities including The North and Mid Wales Trunk Road Agent, Sunderland City Council, Cumbria County Council, North Yorkshire County Council, Leeds City Council and Bradford Metropolitan Council, to name just a few. In addition to collaborating with local authorities, we often lend our highways experience to clients in others sectors, such as the award-winning Baitings Gate Bridge constructed for Yorkshire Water. Highways JN Bentley has traditionally held a presence in the highways and local authority sectors – with our workload growing in the sector in recent times. We have a large and dedicated workforce with experience in undertaking highway structures work and our team is familiar with the relevant Department for Transport Specifications for Highway Works.

Digital delivery OUR APPROACH Social outcomes and sustainability Digital construction Preserving resources Our aim is to reduce water consumption, minimise our waste, and use energy efficiently. We’ve supported innovative practices to drive low water commissioning techniques, which can support up to a 95% reduction in commissioning water usage. We follow the waste hierarchy, considering waste and resource management from the outset of project delivery to minimise waste and re-use, recycle and recover as much as possible. Our waste management target is to direct >95% of the waste we generate from landfill. We continue to seek efficiencies in our operations and are seeing benefits from standardised site setups that use cabins with improved EPC ratings; the use of battery storage units on site; and the introduction of Stage V engines in our plant fleet. We actively monitor energy consumption across offices: the majority of electricity used here has been moved to green tariffs with REGO (Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin) certification. We are also certified against ISO 50001 for Energy Management for the design, construction and commissioning of building and civil, mechanical and electrical projects. Take a look at project examples of where we have preserved resources in our latest annual review .
