Founded in 1972, JN Bentley has seen significant growth in the years since, delivering work across the building, civil engineering and environmental sectors across the UK. 1970s JN Bentley was founded in 1972 and was principally involved in water and sewerage works. 1980s The 1980s saw JN Bentley become something of a pioneer in providing both design and build services to clients in-house. 1990s Together with a focus on civil engineering, the 1990s saw JN Bentley diversify its operations into the waste sector too. 2000s As MMB became more established, the 2000s saw geographical expansion as we built new office premises in Durham and secured a place on a new framework with Severn Trent Water. Present day JN Bentley joined the Mott MacDonald Group in 2014, building on 15 years of success through MMB.

JN Bentley's "21st Century Teamwork and Collaboration" page highlights paperless, agile operations and innovative digital tools for efficient teamwork Back Next About us Introducing JN Bentley Vision and values Publications We integrate inclusion and belonging, professional and personal development, and health and wellbeing into our business culture. People OUR APPROACH People Procurement with purpose Supporting society Carbon reduction Digital rehearsal Teamwork and collaboration When our teams work at their best by collaborating with our supply chain, clients and their customers, we deliver outstanding projects. Digital technology can help empower our teams in several ways. When working with documents and files, our offices are completely paperless, using the latest cloud technology with easy-to-use processes for sharing, checking and approving. Covid-19 had a positive impact when it came to us learning how to work in smarter, more agile ways using technology. We quickly adapted to using video calls and our design and office-based staff have now adopted agile working, allowing our staff to work in different locations and in a more flexible way that suits their own work-life balance, that of their teams, and of our clients. On our sites we are deploying the latest smartphones and tablets to employees, to ensure they have everything they need to collaborate in the same way as office-based colleagues. Even our collaborative planning has gone digital - from post-it notes on the walls of the site cabins to digital whiteboards that can be accessed on any device. Microsoft 365 We have deployed Office 365 and its full suite of tools. The apps go beyond Word, Excel and PowerPoint and towards modern collaboration tools such as SharePoint, Teams and Viva Engage. These are used to great effect in our organisation to empower staff to work out loud, connect with communities of interest across the world, and work in an agile and secure way that suits them. Access to the Power Platform (Power BI, Power Apps, Power Automate, etc.) is allowing citizen technologists to automate their own workflows and get insight from data to enable them to be more efficient and offer even more innovative solutions to our clients. Site tablets and smartphones We have deployed the latest IoS (Apple) devices to many employees based on site, ensuring they can access the apps that they need to make their job easier. Miro digital whiteboard Miro can be used for collaborative planning, meeting sprints, workshops and a lot more. When used for collaborative planning on a project, it allows all stakeholders to understand their role, what they need to do and how their actions might affect others.

Quality, cost and efficiency OUR APPROACH This is an overview of digital in JN Bentley, including our investment in digital delivery and our company digital transformation and how it is embedded in everything we do. Digital delivery OUR APPROACH Digital rehearsal Digital rehearsal optimises how we plan the construction phase of our projects. It aligns design with the construction programme and drives collaboration between people and technology, enabling project teams to rehearse the construction sequence at the right time with the right set of people to identify the best sequence in terms of safety, supply-chain, operational site interfaces and temporary works logistics. Designers get a better understanding of buildability and construction teams understand the specification and any client operational constraints. Case study: Hallbank Tunnel Hallbank involved a short shutdown of an aqueduct supplying 2.5 million customers with 570 million litres of water a day. After nearly two years of main works, our client handed the entire site over to us to complete the connections. At its peak, 90 engineers on round-the-clock shifts worked at each connection. We developed a highly detailed 4D model that facilitated collaborative rehearsals with the team and ensured the operation was meticulously planned. The connections were a success, and the site was handed back to our client early. The 4D model maximised efficiency and supported collaboration between the design and construction teams. The model also helped to identify temporary works and process constraints, beyond the realm of 3D clash detection. Case study: Embsay Water Treatment Works During the investigation and tender stage at Embsay, SYNCHRO 4D was used to create a digital rehearsal to better understand sequencing on an extremely tight site. Outputs from the rehearsal led directly to programme updates, saving 10 weeks and over £100,000 in preliminary site costs.

Explore JN Bentley's commitment to renewables. Driving innovation in sustainable energy solutions for a greener future Linton Falls Hydro We constructed a 120kW twin hydro turbine, on a small weir at Linton Falls on the River Wharf within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, bringing the asset back to life for the first time since 1948. Low Wood Hydro We installed two new Archimedean screw turbines as part of the refurbishment of the hydroelectric plant at the historic Low Wood Gunpowder Works within the scenic Lake District National Park. Tees Barrage We redeveloped this white water course to create a world-class training facility used in the 2012 Olympic Games. The project, at the time, was the only installation where Archimedean screws were used as both pumps and generators.

Low Wood Hydro The course is located on the River Tees adjacent to the Tees Barrage. The project comprised a redevelopment of the course to create a world-class white water facility. The project at the time was the only installation in the world where Archimedean screws were used as both pumps and generators. The screws were particularly large, delivering a maximum flow rate of 14m3/s. Further elements included the design and construction of the new RC pumping station, construction of associated penstocks, stop logs and a fish pass; raising of concrete channel walls; excavation and construction of a new, steeper ‘short course’.

Tees Barrage As part of an overall upgrade to the treatment works at Esholt, we designed and managed the installation of two hydrodynamic screws. The hydropower installation utilises the 10m head drop between the inlet works and the new primary tanks, with the power generated assisting in meeting the base load of the new activated sludge secondary treatment plant. We were responsible for construction of the inlet chamber, and plinths for the 2.6m diameter screws and oversaw the subcontracted hydropower and electrical works.

Esholt WwTW Working collaboratively with the client, we delivered a hydroelectric generation facility within Eccup Water Treatment Works (WTW), situated near Leeds, West Yorkshire. We also worked in partnership with suppliers to develop, install and commission a horizontally mounted Francis turbine with asynchronous generator in a new ‘hydro-turbine building’, upstream of Eccup WTW inlet works. The installation is fully integrated with the previously existing operation of the inlet works for ease of operation, to enable generation of up to 700MWh of electricity per annum.

Eccup Hydro At Grmwith, water is released to river from the reservoir for abstraction downstream. Energy was being lost and offered an opportunity for energy recovery/generation from a turbine. The project comprised of the installation of a 250kW Francis Turbine within an existing chamber at Grimwith Reservoir, recovering energy from the water before it is discharged. The scope of work included the supply and installation of the turbine; modifications to the existing chamber; new 800mm diameter flowmeter to measure and record turbine flows; modification to pipework and valves; electrical installation and SCADA modifications.
