An example of the type of projects being delivered through the partnership by AECOM Arup is below.AECOM Arup have been selected as the design, environmental and consenting partner to lead on a complex project that must deliver a significant new overhead line circuit that connects several new and extended substations on the east coast of England. This work will require a multi-discipline team of engineers, environmental consultants and planning &amp; consent consultants to determine the best option for this new overhead line. This will require detailed analysis of various routes considering multiple factors such as terrain, ground conditions, weather conditions etc when looking at the sighting of new overhead line towers. As part of this analysis there may be requirements to provide sections of underground EHV cables where the route crosses sensitive environments such as National Parks or Areas of Outstanding Beauty. There will be new substations along this route that will require siting studies followed by detailed design for the new HV plant solution, protection and control, civil engineering requirements and associated ancillary services.The design will progress to a detailed design which the construction partners will then be responsible for constructing.
