Power and Renewables

We see power from every angle

We’ve designed, delivered, and operated wind, solar, nuclear, and hydro projects. We're involved in decarbonization projects such as clean hydrogen production via electrolysis or pyrolysis, as well as through carbon capture for industries where clean hydrogen is not applicable. Transmission and distribution (T&D) and energy storage are other areas where we have world leading expertise.

Because we do all this, and so much more than power and renewables as an organization, our clients gain from the collective experience we have accumulated cross decades of working on major projects.

What sets us apart? Our unique blend of local knowledge, cost-effectiveness, and end-to-end technological capabilities. No other company can provide an entire energy system solution the way we can. We continually surprise our clients with solutions that surpass their expectations, and this is down to our ability to look beyond the project scope and understand the big energy picture.

Power grids

Demand for sustainable energy is growing at a rapid pace. As the energy mix is changing, the grid needs to evolve in tandem to meet future demand.

Our reliable, forward-thinking grid technologies and power engineering experts are helping our clients to overcome the challenges of ageing infrastructure, to plan for grid integration, and to build assets that meet the needs of the changing energy landscape.

We bring power to wherever it’s needed. With over 50 years of international experience, we are an innovative leader in power system planning and design, including generation, transmission and distribution, High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) and Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS), and renewable integration.

Our expertise encompasses the following areas:

• Grid technologies
• Power system planning
• Substations
• HVDC and FACTS
• Transmission lines
• High voltage cables
• Cybersecurity and digitization
• Smart grids and automation
• Due diligence for privatization and acquisitions

Hydropower & dams

Hydropower has a key role in the transition to clean energy. Our solutions consider the impacts on the people and the communities we live in to maximise the credentials of our clients’ clean power projects.

We integrate the latest technologies to bring our clients cutting edge sustainable solutions that deliver benefits optimized to their operating and business models. Our hydropower services are broad and versatile. We hold our solutions to the highest standards, using the latest 3D and 4D simulations as part of our design and testing processes.

We’ve rehabilitated and upgraded many brownfield and greenfield hydroelectric developments and performed numerous dam safety assessments. We work side-by-side with clients, regulatory agencies, and local stakeholders to develop solutions integrated with the surrounding natural environments, decreasing operational risk, and increasing project viability.

Our expert teams have delivered hydropower projects across the world ranging from a few kilowatts to several thousand megawatts. The breadth of our complete hydropower solutions offering includes:

• Dam safety
• Flood and water assessments
• Geotechnical assessments
• Environmental assessments
• Detailed design of greenfield and brownfield facilities
• Construction support for new hydro facilities
• Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Management (EPCM) services
• Pumped hydro energy storage

Alternatives energies and technologies

To achieve net zero by 2050, a variety of solutions are needed to decarbonize electricity and oil and gas use. Energy producers and users must transition together, and we help clients select and deliver the right combination of solutions for their transition to net zero. There is no single solution that will decarbonize energy, and energy producers and users need to transition together. We have a wide range of professional, engineering, design and environmental services to offer our renewable energy clients across the globe.

Hydrogen

Hydrogen is a versatile and storable energy source crucial for achieving net zero. We help clients reduce economic and technology risk through our expertise in low carbon hydrogen, from production to end use. Our services include:

• Electrolysis (green hydrogen project delivery)
• Green ammonia project delivery
• Reforming (blue hydrogen).

We also work with clients across industrial, transportation, and building sectors to assess hydrogen's potential in their decarbonization pathways.

Renewables

We provide professional, design, and environmental services to renewable energy clients worldwide, covering:

• Offshore wind
• Onshore wind
• Solar

We've supported the engineering and construction of over 500 MW of solar projects and engaged in over 70 wind projects, ensuring high-quality project delivery with a 'whole system' approach.

Energy storage

Developing large-scale energy storage is vital for system resilience and balance. As experts in network planning and renewable energy integration, we offer:

• EPCM services
• Planning, grid integration, project financing, design, and project management

We understand all storage technologies, from hydrogen and compressed air in salt caverns to batteries, liquid air, and pumped hydro. We've also managed sub-surface hydrogen storage projects.

Carbon capture and storage

Our Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) front end study experience includes an extensive list of feasibility, conceptual design, due diligence and preFront End Engineering Design (FEED) studies. Our combined CCS Engineer Procure Construct (EPC), Owner's Engineer, advisory and study experience enables us to bring 'reality' to the front end of a project. The knowledge, lessons learned and in-house CCS expertise means we can consider deliverability issues at an early stage of a project, thus significantly de-risking a project and potentially accelerating its development programme. We are at the forefront of Carbon Capture, Utilisation, and Storage (CCUS) technologies to reduce atmospheric CO2 emissions.
