Mott MacDonald's "Pushing the Boundaries" page showcases AI and data analytics use in innovative tech development and digital twin case studies Back Next About us Introducing JN Bentley Vision and values Publications Enhancing the environment Supporting society Carbon reduction People Digital construction 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 Pushing the boundaries As an employee-owned company, we make our own decisions about where to invest our money. One of these areas of investment is developing ideas and discovering new technology and digital tools to keep us at the forefront of the industry. As part of the Mott MacDonald Group, we collaborate with teams across the world and partner with organisations who recognise us as industry leaders in this space. Artificial Intelligence (AI) – We use AI to check our risk assessments and method statements, drawing from our Operational Safety Standards to give instant, relevant and comprehensive documents which increases our efficiency, productivity, and performance. Data analytics – We develop powerful business intelligence dashboards to provide the insight our teams need to make better decisions. We are also working with partners who use predictive analytics to provide advance knowledge of safety performance based on previous and real-time data fed into an AI powered model. This allows us to deliver proactive support to our projects that need it most. Case study: Digital twins During the design, build and commissioning of a £37m sludge treatment plant at Five Fords in Wales, we identified that the sludge treatment process required complex conditions and a controlled environment to operate successfully. We adopted a digital twin approach to give us and our client more certainty during the commissioning stage to mitigate risk and shorten the lengthy programme. The development of the twin was driven by two key questions: 1. What if we knew how the plant was going to perform in the future? and, 2. What if we could virtually simulate operating conditions before making decisions? A platform to capture, process and visualise the data was also required, as well as a calibrated, real-time model to provide analytics. Our digital twin platform, Moata , processes billions of data points daily and can integrate with multiple software packages and machine learning modules, making it a powerful digital twin platform built for scale. To dynamically model the complex biological process, the industry-leading wastewater simulation software Biowin was used. Biowin, developed by EnviroSim, was integrated with Moata to provide real-time insight into plant operation. The digital twin solution helps to optimise performance, reduce energy use and cut chemical consumption. The Five Fords digital twin has allowed the team to move from reactive to proactive decision-making, and it is creating a real step-change in how we manage our assets. This is one small part of creating a wider digital twin for all water and wastewater assets. It involves building an ecosystem of supply, distribution and treatment assets and integrating catchment-wide aspects of the water cycle, such as rainfall predictions. This will only occur through collaboration and strategic partnerships, ensuring we are using the best expertise on a global level.

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.

Craig Yr Aber Our scheme at Reedness is one of our Asset Recovery Programme of Works (ARPW) projects with The Environment Agency (see below). We raised flood defences to provide long-term protection to the area. Based over a 3.3km stretch of land, to meet the programme we undertook work on several fronts at any one time. We estimated a total of 8,000 wagon movements throughout the scheme and, with the villages of Reedness and Swinefleet nearby, we took steps to minimise disruption. Site teams engaged proactively with the community to alleviate concerns, making house calls and even holding an assembly at the local primary school.
