Project name:Etihad RailLocation:UAEServices provided:Concept designDetails:Atkins has been appointed Preliminary Engineering Consultant for early stages of the 1,200 km Etihad Rail project in the United Arab Emirates.The new freight and passenger rail network is intended to form a central element in the modernisation of the UAE’s goods distribution system, linking its ports, population centres, sources of raw materials and industry. Our 14-month contract will see a multidisciplinary team finalise the concept, and then prepare the preliminary design and tender documents for the construction of stages 0, 1 & 2 of the network. The $11bn railroad, which will form part of a planned Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) railway network, will stretch from the western region of the UAE near the Saudi and Qatari borders and travel across the desert to connect Abu Dhabi emirate with Dubai, Sharjah, other northern emirates and Fujairah outside the Gulf.
Name of project:King Abdulaziz International Airport Location:Jeddah, Saudi Arabia Services provided by Atkins:Architecture, multidisciplinary engineering design, special airport systems, design management, construction planning and scheduling, quantity surveying What:The project will result in the construction of a new 640,000 m² passenger terminal and associated buildings to increase the airport’s capacity to 30 million passengers per annum in phase 1 (the same throughput as Heathrow T5) with an ultimate phase capacity of 80 million passengers per annum (the whole of Heathrow currently). The project includes a 12,000 m² High Speed Rail Station and Transportation Centre which will seamlessly bring together passengers from air, rail and road. The Atkins solution:The scale, complexity and urgency of this major project means it is now occupying more than 500 people from 13 offices across the Group. The geographical spread of our design network means that a specialist team somewhere around the world is working on the project nearly every hour of every day. Our design management, planning and scheduling specialists are responsible for ensuring the project is delivered to time, quality and budget.

A high rise tower and ‘L’ shaped low rise office building sit over a podium comprising a wide range of retail and conference facilities accessed through a grand atrium lobby. With some of the most spectacular views of Vitosha Mountain, the high rise office building reaches 135 metres high and is set to create a distinctive landmark in Sofia’s skyline. It will be visible to visitors driving in and out of the city centre and from the air as aircrafts approach Sofia International Airport. When completed it will be the tallest building in Bulgaria and the Balkans.
Name of project: European Rail Traffic Management SystemLocation: DenmarkServices provided by Atkins: Design and testing of ERTMS on the entire Danish rail network Client advisor for the implementation of ERTMS including specifications to the suppliersNew Communications Based Train Control (CBTC) system for Copenhagen’s suburban rail networkDenmark is the first country in Europe to introduce ERTMS on all railway linesDetails: Atkins is helping to deliver the most important combined upgrade in passenger and freight train services in Europe. The European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) is being implemented across 3200km of track on the Danish rail network. The project promises a radical improvement in safety, performance, and capacity, and opens up the possibility of running non-stop trains across all borders.The Atkins solution: ERTMS, European Rail Traffic Management System, will see on-board computers fitted to every train which receive and relay information via trackside radio beacons that communicate with a central control. This improves timetable reliability and offers capacity improvements because services can be run closer together. Safety is also a key feature as ERTMS includes an Automatic Train Protection (ATP) system which applies a train’s brakes automatically if it is danger of a potential collision.
