Fourth annual BIM: Research to Reality event

Internal and external BIM experts came
together this month at Londons Royal
College of Physicians to examine how
BIM contributes toward solving some
of the industrys biggest challenges:
finding cost efficiencies, meeting skills
challenges, working collaboratively
within contracts and making best
possible use of technology.
The fourth annual BIM: Research to
Reality event on 8 July saw leading industry
organisations the Green Construction Board,
Anglian Water, Laing ORourke and London
South Bank University represented alongside
a selection of Mott MacDonald and Hatch Mott
MacDonald experts.
Group chairman Keith Howells introduced
the event by remarking that BIM is increasingly
essential for business survival, and that the
people behind BIM are the real driving force
in delivering beneficial outcomes.
Group BIM champion Richard Shennan
BIM experts at the fourth annual BIM: Research to Reality event
Mott MacDonald Group BIM champion Richard

Shennan provided big-picture context and
argued that BIM has a major role to play in
facilitating the global switch to a low carbon
economy. BIM highlights new ways to better
solve old problems, he said.
Although the costs of transitioning to BIM
can be steep, when BIM is fully implemented
it can produce impressive savings as has
been demonstrated by a number of Mott
MacDonald projects, said Mott MacDonald
buildings director James Middling.
Individuals and companies are seemingly
sceptical about what they can gain from
BIM, said Mott MacDonald learning and
development consultant and Class of Your
Own business development director Carole
Teacher. We must therefore work much harder
at articulating the benefits, so that people can

adopt, adapt and learn the new skills that are
essential for level 2 and 3 BIM. This is because
the human mind is hard wired to perceive the
loss arising from change twice as keenly as
the gains.
Mott MacDonald projects director Barry
Trebes considered various procurement
Group chairman Keith Howells
arrangements that could help to provide

the best possible framework for BIM success,
placing emphasis on collaborative working and
clarity from clients on the benefits they want to
realise from BIM.
Data interoperability, handover and volume
are the three biggest current challenges to BIM
adoption explained Hatch Mott MacDonald
senior associate Cory Dippold. Hardware,
storage and communications networks must
leapfrog forward to enable the next stages of
BIM development, he said.
Green Construction Board Infrastructure
Working Group member and Anglian Water
carbon manager David Riley spoke about
the global carbon challenge, describing the
scale of what must be achieved under UK
government targets. He suggested ways in
which BIM could contribute toward meeting
these targets by enabling design and
contribution optimisation.
BIM is a key enabler of design for
manufacture and assembly, said Laing
ORourke Engineering Excellence Group
head of civils John Roberts. He outlined
some of the techniques Laing ORourke has
employed to create a unified organisationwide approach and the cost, time and benefits
arising from this.
An output document with full summaries
of each presentation will shortly be published
on MiMi.

Mott MacDonald has been certified as an

Endorsed Assessor (EA) for PAS 55 Asset
Management by the Institute of Asset
Management (IAM), which is recognised
globally for its leading role in the sector.
The British Standards Institutes Publicly
Available Specification 55 (BSI PAS 55 1:2008),
commonly referred to as PAS 55, has been
produced by the IAM with the aim of creating
a recognised benchmark for good practice in
physical asset and infrastructure management.
As an endorsed assessor, Mott MacDonald is
able to advise clients on how to achieve good
practice asset management processes which
help improve business effectiveness, efficiency
and sustainability.
In addition, Mott MacDonald will soon be
able to certify ISO 55000, a new international
suite of standards created to give guidance in
asset management best practice. The intention
is that the EA scheme will transfer over to the
ISO in due course.
The newly endorsed team, all from the

Water Investment Planning subdivision, has
cross-sector capabilities and has recently
completed PAS 55 assessments for the Nuclear
Decommissioning Authority and Aquanet.
Paul Chadwick, divisional director explains:
The philosophy underlying the audit approach
is that PAS 55 is there to achieve business
benefits through alignment of asset related
roles with a clear focus on managing related
risks and costs sustainably and efficiently.
Companies are increasingly seeing the value in
carrying out PAS 55 certification as it enables
them to demonstrate to their key stakeholders
that they have effective asset management
policies in place.
It should be noted that the EA status has
been granted to Mott MacDonald Limited (UK),
not to any other parts of the Group, so currently
only Mott MacDonald Limited can issue PAS
55 or ISO 55000 certifications. No other parts
of Mott MacDonald Limited or the wider Mott
MacDonald Group can conduct certification or
gap analysis work under the EA badge without
including one of the endorsed individuals in
the project as lead assessor. Nor can any parts
of the Mott MacDonald Group use the IAM or
EA logos in any printed or electronic marketing
material without consulting the team.

Process how we do things
Three main processes, WIN, DO and
LEARN, will be accessed through the
Nimbus process mapping software. Were
currently piloting WIN and DO with several
units and anticipate rolling them out to the
business in the fourth quarter of this year.
Under LEARN were defining how we
capture and share knowledge as we WIN
and DO our work.
Other governing and enabling functions will
be mapped and reviewed in the third and
fourth quarters.
Knowledge what we know and how we
apply it
SharePoint search replaced Google search
in June and were developing a powerful

search centre.
People search is now available to all staff.
From the end of July everyone can edit their

MEET THE EXPERT INTRODUCING INDIVIDUALS WHOSE SKILLS AND OUTSTANDING TECHNICAL EXPERTISE HELPS US DELIVER INDUSTRY-LEADING PROJECTS
Jack Meldrum, dams and barrages technical director, EUNA
Jack Meldrum (centre) on site at the 406MW Chaglla scheme
1. What is your area of expertise?

My principal area of expertise is dam
engineering, although Im also interested in
hydraulic structures, hydropower and reservoir
sedimentation.
I joined Sir M MacDonald & Partners as a
graduate engineer in 1974. My first two years
were spent assisting on irrigation projects in
Nigeria, Sudan and Iraq and then finally in
Somalia where I spent two months carrying out
soil tests and taking river cross sections, with a
dugout canoe for transport and a safari tent for
accommodation.
At that time there was a small team in the
Cambridge office working on dam projects
under the direction of Ernest Taylor. This
seemed far more interesting than irrigation
and I asked to join. At that time there were no
separate geotechnical, tunnels, hydropower,
structures and contracts sections, and as the

projects required all these components we
did everything even the roads. As a young
engineer this proved very good training.
2. What is the most absorbing challenge
youve tackled what made it so?
Working on the Darlik dam, Turkey, a
70m high rockfill dam and a slipformed
pumping station situated in the reservoir was
challenging. Construction was fast tracked
to take a year out of the original three year
programme. I worked in Turkey for two years
as resident engineer and apart from the many
challenges of the project we were snowed in
for three weeks one winter and my wife took on
the teaching of our eldest two children (by this
stage we had three children).
Mott MacDonald was formed soon
after my return to the UK and I took on the

management of the dams department. This
was an interesting time. The merger of Sir
M MacDonald & Partners with Mott, Hay &
Anderson gave us new specialised resources
to call on, particularly in geotechnics and
tunnelling, enabling us to be involved in larger
multidisciplinary projects.
Internally we were facing the embryonic
stage of the management systems that we
now take for granted and the dams industry
was going through a serious downturn due
to environmental concerns and lobbying
against major dams. The number of our UK
competitors reduced, but we managed to
keep going and we always had at least one
significant dam under construction. During
the period James Williamson and Ewbank
Preece joined the company, strengthening our
capacity to take on major hydropower projects.
I was also appointed as an all reservoirs panel
engineer under the UKs Reservoirs Act 1974.
Ive now worked in 30 countries on
projects on many of the worlds major rivers,
including the Indus, Mekong, Euphrates and
the Nile, where I advised on remedial work
on the original Aswan Dam, one of
Sir M MacDonalds defining projects.
3. Whats the hottest issue in your field
for your clients right now and how are
you tackling it?
I see the challenges for the next generation as
dealing with an ageing population of major
dams its not so easy to demolish a dam and

start again when it has reached the end of its
design life. This is something we have done
much of in the UK which is a reflection of the
older age of UK dams but we have seen less of
internationally.
We are also having to deal with more
and more difficult dam sites and taking on
the challenges of such things as sediment
management, where sediment not only reduces
reservoir volumes (it has been estimated that
nearly 1% of the worlds total reservoir volume
is being lost every year), but also can seriously
damage hydropower equipment.
4. What advice would you give to young
professionals starting out?
For young engineers wanting to get into dam
engineering one of the greatest challenges is
gaining the range of experience required.
Knowledge may now be easier to obtain
thanks to internet and intranet systems, but you
need experience to know how to use it. Dam
design and operation has to account for many
factors. One of the best ways to gain practical
hands-on experience is to mix periods in the
design office with periods on site, including
time as an RE. There is no substitute to seeing
what you have designed being built, and
site affords the opportunity to see what your
colleagues may have designed turning into
reality.

DEAL OF THE MONTH
KEY PROJECT WINS
Strategic framework award

for the Ministry of Justice
Multi award-winning Manchester Civil Justice Centre

completed for the Ministry of Justice
Mott MacDonald has been appointed by

the UK Ministry of Justice (MoJ) as one of
the professional service providers on a
new four year national framework.
The Ministry of Justice is one of the UKs
largest government departments, employing
68,000 staff. It had a budget of 8.3bn in
2012/13 and an estate comprising

1600 properties/holdings, including prisons,
probation properties, administrative offices,
courts and lodgings.
After over 10 years of contracting
professional services work on a single discipline
basis, the MoJ decided to launch its first ever
multidisciplinary framework for professional
services. Led by Programme and Commercial
Management (PCM), we bid for potentially up
to 20M fees per annum.
Our position on the framework was secured
by a small team from PCM and Buildings and
Infrastructure (B&I) including Mike Travers,
James Masters, Lisa Perkins and Cathy Travers
working over the Christmas and New Year
period to get ahead of the competition.
The bid was an excellent example of
collaborative working between PCM, B&I and
our architectural partners Feilden + Mawson,
drawing on our partners track record in prisons
and courts, and our project management
capabilities for secure accommodation projects.
MoJ is seen as the leading department
in the UK government for construction using
techniques such as LEAN, BIM and Government
Soft Landings. Working as one of their key
suppliers will provide opportunities to utilise
these innovative techniques.

PROJECT NEWS
CALPUFF a new
dispersion model
The air quality team, based in Brighton,
has expanded its atmospheric dispersion
modelling capability with an advanced
dispersion model known as CALPUFF.
The team already uses a range of
internationally recognised models to assess
air quality impacts at a local scale. However,
the CALPUFF model is designed for predicting
the way the atmosphere behaves over much
larger distances, meaning that it can be
used to look at the impacts of a number of
emission sources across an entire region,
as well as at an individual project level. This
makes it a powerful tool for supporting the
environmental considerations for large-scale
development proposals or policy interventions
by governments.
In the immediate term, the team will
be using CALPUFF as part of its regional
environmental and social assessment, for the
development of up to eight coal fired power
plants along the South Africa and Botswana
border, on behalf of the World Bank.
Matthew OBrien, EUNAs air quality
practice leader, said: The addition of
CALPUFF to our modelling toolkit means we
can advise decision-makers how to build air
quality considerations into the early stages of
their development and policymaking processes,
which is the best time for it.

Powering Georgia
Weve been owners engineer since 2011
on the 175MW Shuakhevi hydropower
project (HPP), located in the Adjara
region in South West Georgia, which has
reached successful financial close.
Shuakhevi HPP will supply the Georgian and
Turkish power systems via a 220kV transmission
line which runs 148km between Batumi and
Akhaltsikhe. The project will also enable
Georgia to better meet electricity demand
during the winter months of December, January
and February.
The project comprises 32km of drill and
blast tunnelling with tunnel diameters from 4m
to 6m in diameter. The headworks comprise
a 5m high weir, and two dams of height 22m
and 44m respectively. The 175MW (2 x 87.5
Francis turbines) Shuakhevi powerhouse utilises
the 440m gross head and 48cu m/s design
flow to generate approximately 465GWh per
annum.
We prepared the feasibility study,
environmental and social impact assessment,
tender design and the detailed design for
Shuakhevi HPP with the support of our subconsultants Dolsar of Turkey and Gross Energy
Group of Georgia.
We have a US$19M contract to continue to
provide project management and construction
supervision services through to completion
of the scheme and the start of commercial
operations in early 2017.

operational solar PV projects assessed by
Mott MacDonald in China and South Korea,
providing significant lessons with respect to
local project performance, contractual and
commercial considerations. Our international
experience has been vital in terms of providing
comfort to the investors who are inexperienced
with solar power in the countries.
Team members from our Bangkok and

Our Consulting division is working as
lead contractor for the UK Department of
Education (DfE) to implement and test the
prototype Adoption Support Fund (ASF)
with 10 local authorities.
The ASF is designed to attract more
adopters and to improve the support available
to adoptive families.
British Prime Minister David Cameron
commented: The fund will be a lifeline for
many adoptive families, helping them to access
specialist services when they need them most. I
also hope it will reassure parents thinking about
embarking on the hugely rewarding journey of
adoption that, if challenges do arise, they will
not be left alone to cope.
The prototype fund is delivering 2M over
12 months from June 2014. Together with
our partners Core Assets and BAAF we are

helping the local authorities to set up and test
the systems to deliver the ASF prototype. It will
pilot improved methods of assessing families
needs and providing appropriate support. The
12 month prototype follows a six month design
and test phase. Applications for funding are
being received. Our consultants are designing
a prototype that can be replicated across all
local authorities in England in time for national
rollout in June 2015.
Mott MacDonald is making a powerful
impact in the community by also leading on a
number of other national DfE policy projects,
most recently the Achieving Two-Year Olds
(A2YO) and SEND Pathfinder projects.

Piloting PPPs in Trinidad and Tobago
A typical primary school in Port of Spain, Trinidad
Mott MacDonald with Ernst & Young

has been awarded two pilot public
private partnership (PPP) projects by the
Government of the Republic of Trinidad
and Tobago, one for schools and early
learning facilities and another for
diagnostic health centres.
The Inter-American Development Bank
(IADB) has provided funding. Were providing
technical and commercial advisory services
to develop the outline business cases on both
projects prior to procurement. We will be
leading the healthcare project and Ernst &
Young will lead the schools and early learning
facilities projects.
These social infrastructure projects
have been identified as high priorities for
the government to improve disintegrating
infrastructure and produce greater consistency
in the provision of services.
On the health front, the public provision
of diagnostic services is currently insufficient
in some areas, and exacerbated by a major
shortage of clinical staff. The PPP is intended to

design, build, finance and operate a number of
new diagnostic centres to significantly improve
patient access to services, which in turn will
improve overall healthcare provision across
the country.
On the schools project, poorly maintained
buildings and insufficient primary school
capacity are significant issues in some parts of
the country. The project is intended to deliver
and maintain 10 new primary schools and
10 early learning facilities across the country.
These projects represent another important
step in expanding our social infrastructure
transaction advisory business, building on
our recent success on similar projects with
the International Finance Corporation. They
are expected to trigger a significant pipeline
of further projects. This could ultimately play
a major role in improving infrastructure and
quality of life in the country.

obesity among young people
Adrian Barritt at the launch event with representatives from Public Health and Intu Lakeside, alongside the Mayor
of Thurrock and participants from a local school
School children and local residents in

Thurrock, Essex, UK, are taking part in an
innovative walking initiative designed to
increase physical activity and help reduce
obesity among young people. The Beat
the street project is being managed by
Mott MacDonald, in partnership with the
council's public health team.
104 beat boxes have been strategically
positioned across the borough to encourage
people to explore walking paths and routes in
their local neighbourhood or on their journey
to school. Participants collect points and miles
by swiping a beat card against the beat
box. Participants can find the location of the
104 beat boxes on the Travel-Thurrock app,
which the Mott MacDonald team originally

developed. Local media, schools and
businesses are all on board with the project,
with nearly 15,000 people involved in the
initiative.
The original target was for Thurrock to
collectively walk around the world (40,000km)
and after launching in June, that target was
reached within 10 days. The target has been
revised and it is now expected that a total of
145,000km will be walked!
The project is expected to reduce the cost of
inactivity and a full report on the outcomes will
be quantified after the initiative ends.

Our design and construction joint venture

Mott MacDonald Bentley (MMB) has
been named as one of four construction
delivery partners (CDPs) that will help
deliver United Utilities AMP6 and
potentially AMP7 capital investment
programmes.
The AMPs run from 2015-20 and 202025. Our role will be reviewed after the first five
years. Individual projects may be of any value
and be located throughout the United Utilities
operational region.
MMB signed the framework contract
following a successful competitive procurement
process. This agreement will see MMB
undertake the design and construction of
projects across the whole of the United Utilities
region and across the full spectrum of water
and wastewater infrastructure and noninfrastructure, as well as energy related work.
This contract award follows the extension
of MMBs frameworks with both Severn Trent
Water and Yorkshire Water into AMP6 and
the announcement in May 2014 of MMBs
appointment to Anglian Waters new AMP6
Integrated Main Works Capital Alliance. This
is a great result representing significant new
business, in a new region for a new customer.
It exemplifies MMBs reputation for efficient
delivery that has been hard earned over the
course of three successful AMP periods.

Strengthening
Namibias
power supply
Were technical advisor for the
independent power producer (IPP)
procurement process for a 250MW power
plant in Namibia. Were working for
Namibia Power Corporation (NamPower)
as part of an advisory consortium headed
by KPMG.
Preliminary studies conducted by Mott
MacDonald indicate that the most feasible fuel
sources are gas and liquid fuels. Bidders will
be permitted to use any technology from gas
turbines to reciprocation engines that comply
with international environmental guidelines.
The project is driven by the need for
a reliable supply of electricity to support
economic growth. Namibia has always relied
on electricity imports from the Southern African
Power Pool (SAPP). Historically NamPower
could rely on relatively high levels of imports
but the demand-supply balance in the SAPP has
changed significantly over the past decade as
regional economics have evolved.
The plant will have a design life of at
least 25 years and must achieve commercial
operation by June 2016.

English in Action (EIA) scored an A+ at
the end of the last phase in 2014 from
independent external reviewers assigned
by the UKs Department for International
Development.
EIA was set up to teach vocational English
language skills to 25M Bangladeshis to enable
greater economic empowerment. It has used
mobile phones and TV soap operas to reach
students outside the education system, and
employed innovative techniques to improve
the quality of classroom teaching too.
EIA is now entering its final
institutionalisation and sustainability phase,
running to 2017. The programme will continue
building on these methods which have made

a great impact on children and adult learners.
EIAs favourable effect on classroom
practices and teachers professional
development has been acknowledged by the
government, and work is going on to absorb
the key elements into mainstream teacher
development systems. EIA has been made an
integral part of a core working group at the
Directorate of Primary Education (DPE). EIA
approaches are being incorprated into the the
DPEs teacher education. Other collaborations
with projects and government organisations are

We are developing lending guidelines on

technical risk assessment of renewable
energy projects. The aim is to help
investment in renewable projects in the
Association of Southeast Asian Nations
(ASEAN) region by sharing best practice
and lessons learned.
Among ASEAN countries, there is significant
potential for the use of renewable energy to
contribute to a diversified and sustainable
energy mix. In many of the countries,
comprehensive regulatory frameworks for
renewables have been introduced in recent
years, including financial incentives. Despite
efforts, the large-scale deployment of
renewable energy technologies for electricity
generation still faces many barriers, making
private investment in the sector relatively scarce
and often on a case-by-case basis.

An initial workshop with banks from
Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines
and Vietnam was held in May 2014 with the
aim of sharing experiences and best practice
from across the region, particularly from those
countries where considerable investment in
renewable projects has been realised. The
focus was on solar photovoltaic and onshore
wind technologies and the main issues
addressed in the workshop will be included
in the Lending Guidelines. The guidelines
are being developed in association with the
ASEAN-Renewable Energy Support Programme,
the German Gesellschaft fr Internationale
Zusammenarbeit and the ASEAN Centre
for Energy.

Sports for Life programme

Following on from a visit to Palestine
in October 2013, social scientist Felix
Rottmann from the Power unit, visited
Israel with Sport Unites (SU) in June
where he volunteered to help deliver
this summers Sports for Life
programme. The annual programme
aims to bring together Jewish and Arabic
children through the use of sport as a
common platform.
As project leader, Felix was responsible for
one of the seven projects located in the Galilee
region, where he spent the week living with an
Arabic host family in the village of Arraba. This
years Sports for Life programme attracted
more than 540 children aged 8-12 (43% girls).
Leading up to the final days festival,
Felixs responsibilities included facilitating
activities that encouraged team work, close
collaboration and communication, to teach
children about the importance of working
together for common goals. The Sports for Life
programme ended with a festival in Kawkab
village and was attended by children from all
seven projects. At the festival, mixed Arabic
and Jewish teams competed in a football game

(boys) and basketball tournament (girls).
SU is a recently founded non-government
organisation (NGO) that promotes crosscultural understanding and international
co-operation in the Middle East through the use
of sport. Its engagement primarily consists of
two sports intervention programmes for children
and teenagers Sports for Life in Israel and
Jordan, and Sports for Human Rights in
Palestine. Participants of both programmes,
from all three countries, meet during an annual
training workshop in Cologne, Germany, where
the years programmes are planned.
SU and Felix would like to thank Mott
MacDonald for the support provided to
Sports for Life activities and look forward
to a mutually beneficial collaboration. Our
Power unit supports SU by providing Felix
with the time to help organise and attend the
NGOs intervention programmes, hence he
will be travelling to Palestine in October 2014
to help deliver the Sports for Human Rights
programme.

for a bit of fun. It can only be the
Rutland Regatta.
The ever popular annual event, organised
by Anglian Water, gives employees and
suppliers the chance to team-build and network
while raising cash for WaterAid in the process.
This years regatta on 18 June was another
great success, with more than 400 people
taking part or cheering from the shores of
Rutland Water.
Each year a challenge is set to design and
compete in a new craft for the event. This
year was no exception with the introduction
of the duct tape canoe. There was also the

opportunity to build a concrete canoe, build a
bath boat or build a cardboard canoe.
The idea is to beat the other teams around
an 800m course and the hardest part is
paddling in a straight line. Winners of all the
categories went into the final Race of Races,
which this year was won by Mott MacDonalds
Joe Andrews, Yu Feng and Matt Fox from the
Water division.
On dry land, spectators enjoyed a tug of
war, a climbing wall, target golf, a raffle, an
auction and a hog roast, all helping to raise
around 50,000 for WaterAid.

Big Bang inspiring the next generation

The aim of the annual fair is to promote
science, technology, engineering and
mathematics (STEM subjects) to young people
aged 7-19. This year, as well as volunteers,
Mott MacDonald also provided financial
backing to operate a civil engineering hub in
association with the Institution of Civil Engineers
and other industry partners. This collaborative
apporach ensured that civil engineering had a
much larger presence than in previous years.
YPs from Transportation and Buildings and
Infrastructure showcased the diversity of civil
engineering by developing and running activity
stands covering water, structures, tunnelling
and ground engineering, transport, waste and
energy. The mix of fun hands-on and digital
challenges included learning about foundations
and geotechnics by propping up Pisa using
clay, sponges and dowels; guessing which
waste products can be utilised as building
materials; and finding out how tunnels are

constructed by examining parts of Phyllis, a
Crossrail tunnel boring machine. In order to
demonstrate how station and transit systems
are planned, our in-house-developed
pedestrian modelling software STEPS was
available for testing.
All attendees rated the hub as either
excellent or very good and more people than
ever requested follow-up information after
the event. A big thank you must go to all
staff involved.
75,000 people visited the event over four
days. To find out more about 2015 Big Bang
