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.

JN Bentley's "Digital Construction" page details their integration of technology, processes, and data for efficient, safe, and quality construction Back Next About us Introducing JN Bentley Vision and values Publications Enhancing the environment Social outcomes and sustainability Digital design Procurement with purpose Pushing the boundaries Virtual reality Digital construction Digital construction combines processes, technology, people and information to achieve efficiency and improvements in construction – in programme, quality, cost, safety and carbon. Ways that we deliver construction digitally include: Common Data Environment (CDE) – a modern CDE ensures project data is easily accessible, understandable and accurate. We manage this information in line with our ISO 19650 certification. Valuable BIM data – because Mott MacDonald Bentley is an integrated design and build company, we can design assets to ensure safer and more efficient construction. This means including data such as setting out coordinates in 3D models that can be directly integrated into site engineering equipment, without the need for traditional drawings. Construction technology - whether our own fleet or through strategic hire partnerships, we use the latest site engineering equipment and construction plant. Examples include Leica iCON total stations and controllers, handheld and drone-based laser scanning, and intelligent excavators. Champions - to improve digital construction literacy we’ve formed a community of digital construction champions who share training, guidance, and best practice with the wider team. Case study: intelligent plant Outstrays to Skeffling Managed Realignment scheme involves the creation of new intertidal habitats at the Humber Estuary. The specification demands a natural look with no straight lines permitted, requiring a multitude of complex shapes to be designed at differing depths. This traditionally highly engineer-led work was delivered with Intelligent Machine Control which allowed the plant to work directly from a 3D model. Our plant operative visualises the design via onboard screens then operates the machine exactly to the design. Machine control features, such as auto-stop control, auto grade assist, auto tilt control, minimum distance control and bucket angle hold, help to improve accuracy - meaning the operator can safely rely on the system without digging too deep or damaging the surface. Case study: digital site engineering At a Water Treatment Works in the North East, we embedded digital construction tools and workflows to increase efficiency. The Leica iCON tablet allowed engineers to set out directly from the 3D model. They viewed the 3D design model directly from the cloud, selecting which points they want to mark out; viewed information about each element of the model; made calculations; and supported ground workers with design visualisation – all in the field. This gave the engineers complete autonomy and removed the need for 2D drawings. Case study: data capture At Esholt Wastewater Treatment Works, handheld laser scanners enabled our design team to collect point cloud data of an asset during a regular site walk around. This point cloud gave them accurate positional data of an asset of which they previously had little information on. The data facilitated a collaborative review session in virtual reality (VR) and enabled the team to make right first time design decisions prior to mobilising to site.

JN Bentley's "Digital Rehearsal" optimizes construction planning with technology, aligning design and programs for enhanced safety and efficiency Back Next About us Introducing JN Bentley Vision and values Publications Teamwork and collaboration We integrate inclusion and belonging, professional and personal development, and health and wellbeing into our business culture. People OUR APPROACH Virtual reality We must deliver quality solutions in a cost and efficient way. Doing so ensures we add value for our clients and continue to thrive as an organisation. How do we achieve this? Through our Quality, Cost & Efficiency Strategy. Quality, cost and efficiency OUR APPROACH Digital construction Pushing the boundaries 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.

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 As part of an overall upgrade to the treatment works at Esholt, we designed and managed the installation of two hydrodynamic screws.

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.
