  • Virtual reality | JN Bentley and Mott MacDonald Bentley

    JN Bentley's "Virtual Reality" page highlights VR use in 3D design models for client and team collaboration, improving project design and delivery Back Next About us Introducing JN Bentley Vision and values Publications Supporting society Teamwork and collaboration Procurement with purpose Augmented reality Digital construction Digital design Virtual reality We are using Virtual Reality (VR) headsets to place our teams and clients into our 3D design models, allowing them to virtually navigate and communicate with each other prior to any construction. Integrating VR into project design and delivery is helping us to better understand challenges on site as well as those faced by our client’s operational staff after we’ve handed over the constructed asset. Case study: Embsay Water Treatment Works At Embsay Water Treatment Works (WTW) we used the latest VR headsets and software to present design options for the dosing lance arrangement and removal process to the client's project engineer. The VR allowed the team to visualise how operatives would be able to physically access the instruments once built and choose the design that was easiest for operation, therefore ensuring that the design choice was right first time.

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 Augmented reality We use the latest Augmented Reality (AR) technology in project design and delivery to help us better understand challenges on site, identify design or programme clashes early and improve the safety of the construction phase. Augmented Reality is an enhanced version of the real physical world that is achieved using digital visual elements, sound, or sensory stimuli delivered via technology. In terms of construction, it allows 3D digital models to be projected onto sites through a device, such as a tablet, phone, or headset. Case study: Project Munio We used Visual Live, an augmented reality tool, to visualise the position of construction elements and efficiently plan site works for Derby County Council. This helped the site team to better understand site constraints and plan the works safely as it was a very tight and complex site location. Case study: Grimsby On this scheme we used AR to visualise below ground services. Avoiding service strikes is critical when operating below ground, so having the ability to visualise services prior to digging makes avoidance much easier and improves excavation safety.

  • Water and wastewater | JN Bentley and Mott MacDonald Bentley

    Explore JN Bentley's expertise in the water and wastewater sector. Delivering innovative solutions for sustainable water management and infrastructure Blackpool In Blackpool we are helping improve the bathing water quality by increasing the capacity of the sewerage network and reducing the volume of surface water entering the sewer system. Whitlingham Cake Reception At Whitlingham we drove a number of savings, including the reuse of material used for the temporary works within the permanent works as sub-base for the structures and access roads. Jacksons Edge Service Reservoir 126 concrete wall units, 132 beams, 120 columns and 400 roof slabs were all pre-cast in factory conditions away from Jacksons Edge before being delivered to site and carefully crane-lifted into place. Back Next About us Introducing JN Bentley Vision and values Publications We delivered a £34m project to upgrade Hull WwTW – a site serving a population equivalent of 1 million people. We constructed a new elevated inlet works for the preliminary treatment of raw sewage, new liquid import, cake import and rewetting, and dewatering facilities, plus refurbished the existing sludge treatment facility (STF). The new dedicated flow to full treatment inlet works comprised elevated coarse screens, grit removal and fine screens, a return liquors pumping station and new odour control plant. To eliminate the need for high-level temporary works and to expedite construction, we incorporated the temporary works into the permanent works design. The STF refurbishment was undertaken whilst maintaining full treatment capacity, which required a phased approach to delivery, further restricted by high seasonal summer loading and high winter energy demand.

Projects varied in scope and scale but all ultimately ensured our client was left with upgraded assets that meet stringent legal requirements. We increased scour capacity at Llandegfedd so that the reservoir can be lowered faster should there be an emergency. Our solution utilised the existing infrastructure, installing three sets of twin valves to the tower and coring directly into the overflow shaft. Together with costing just 20% of a traditional siphon solution, this methodology reduced carbon by 80%. Complex scaffolding was required to facilitate safe working over water. Access was suspended from the top of the tower as each 1.5t valve was transferred by barge ready for lifting into position. We constructed a new spillway at Lluest Wen that followed the alignment of the old one to minimise future maintenance requirements. Working three miles from the nearest surfaced road and around 1400ft above sea level, the new spillway required installation of reinforced concrete on gradients up to 1:2 and with some walls 6m high. CFD analysis identified that forces on the walls were less than for a typical spillway wall, allowing us to optimise the wall design by making them slimmer with a lower reinforcement density. This significantly reduced the quantity of concrete and reinforcement needed, as well as subcontract and labour costs.

Bewdley Bank Service Reservoir Following a routine safety inspection, recommendations were made to ensure the ongoing resilience and capability of the reservoir at Lower Barden. Our client appointed MMB to improve the drawdown capacity, control leakages and modify the spillway channel to prevent floodwater from breaching the spillway structure. Due to its location in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, the scheme was legally required to conserve and enhance the historic and natural environment. During design, the decision was made to maintain the sloped walls and the curved steps to retain the heritage of the structure, with masonry used from a nearby quarry to be in keeping with the surrounding area. The installation of a new self-priming siphon now ensures the total drawdown capacity reaches minus 5m from top water level within 5 days, meeting the safety requirements.

Lower Barden Impounding Reservoir First built in the 1970s, Embsay Water Treatment Works is a 24ML/d water treatment site. To address risks to drinking water quality, the outline solution involved the construction of a new interstage pumping station, new manganese filters and a start-up-to-waste facility. However, utilising our low carbon solutions in design approach, the PAS 2080 principles, and our Moata Carbon Portal tool, we were able to optimise the solution to deliver significant carbon, cost, and programme savings. Through optimising existing plant processes, re-using existing assets and maximising build efficiency in design we reduced the whole life carbon on the project by 77%. The final solution was a single precast concrete structure consisting of a new three compartment contact tank, clean backwash tank and drywell pumping station.

Skipton Children's Centre The project saw the construction of a new adult day opportunities resource centre on the site of the former Highfield Special School in Edgerton, Huddersfield. The new centre provides a state-of-the-art, high quality building which is fully accessible, both internally and externally, for people with learning disabilities. It was the aim of our client to produce a sustainable development within the constraints of the site and budget, through the use of materials with low impact on the environment as well as renewable energy technologies.

Highfield Day Care Centre Our works at Leeds General Infirmary have included the renovation and improvement to the Jubilee Wing public toilets, as well as strip-out works in the basement. The hospital was fully operational during the works, with very tight working areas, restricted access and strict controls on elements such as deliveries. The client instigated a strict ‘Permit to Work’ system to ensure that the interface between the work activities and third parties was managed effectively to avoid risk of injury. Following the stripping-out works, the basement area received new ceilings, decorations, internal fit-out and floor finishes.

South Craven Skills Centre The new multi-user building at Hanningfield Reservoir provides boat users with permanent changing and welfare facilities, and Northumbrian Water Group staff with much-needed storage space and mess rooms. The building, which sits adjacent to a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), is fully DDA compliant, with independent design reviews undertaken to ensure every aspect of the building fulfils its multi-use function. Minimising the building’s energy use footprint was key. Using Simple Building Energy Modelling (SBEM) we ensured that construction detailing and material specification met these requirements, including heating provided by an air source heat pump.
