The Bouygues Traveaux Publics and Laing O'Rourke joint venture (BYLOR) is constructing the UK's newest nuclear power station - a facility designed to withstand a 1-in-10,000-year earthquake. The complexity, scale, quality control and regulatory demands of nuclear construction necessitates industry-leading digital proficiency, which BYLOR team continually demonstrates. Digital acumen has been essential in constructing 40+ nuclear-grade structures, the management of 1 billion+ points of model data and the meticulous installation of tens of millions of rebar components on a 10,000-person site.
EKFB has set new levels of best practice for introducing digital transformation on large scale infrastructure projects using geospatial technology. Achieving improvements in both business and project performance, the project demonstrates the critical importance of spatial data and understanding location using the Esri ArcGIS system. Overcoming resistance to change, where 85% of users had not used GIS before, EKFB’s blueprint for success not only delivers benefits on HS2 but acts as a legacy for the industry overall. Creating over 200 new digital workflows to help 4,000 users perform better has led to estimated cost savings in excess of £20m.

VolkerFitzpatrick delivered highway capacity improvements on the A259 in Littlehampton for West Sussex County Council to ease congestion, shorten journey times, and make it easier to reach new housing and workplaces.
Improvements comprised dualling and associated junction works in two distinct stretches, including widening of the existing single carriageway to dual carriageway, construction of an off-road pedestrian/cycle route, and various junction improvements to increase capacity and accommodate the new dualled approaches.
Our use of digital tools was of extensive benefit to this project, developing technical solutions, improving safety, saving on costs and programme delays, and instilling confidence in project delivery.
