Digital innovation is a phrase that is thrown around a lot in the nuclear industry (and perhaps all industries) but often in a vague and intangible sense. Certainly, there are aspirational applications of technology that haven’t quite been borne into existence, but there is a need to be more realistic, practical, and outcomes-focused when talking about ‘digital innovation’. Innovation is real at AtkinsRéalis, and we champion digital ways of working across our Nuclear & Power business.
Our collaborative approach to invention became even more solidified in September, when Atkins, SNC-Lavalin and Faithful + Gould rebranded under one umbrella to become AtkinsRéalis. This was an inflection point in our history, and this shared identity has only enhanced our sense of unity, tightened our global reach and boosted our team spirit through having one shared goal. We are set up to work collaboratively across time zones with our Lava Labs – immersive experience hubs with the latest digital tools – bringing together sectors, regions and expert teams effortlessly, with seamless integration to tackle the most complex of client challenges on a global scale.
I’m more and more excited by opportunities to embed innovation seamlessly into the way we deliver work. With each new project, the chance to start from scratch and implement digital innovation first, leaves us and our clients able to reap the rewards later. It’s inspiring to see all of these technologies applied in new ways and watching our teams create new ways of solving problems. For instance, since 2021, through our reality capture data (including laser scan point clouds, aerial drone imagery and 360-degree images and videos), we saved 14,544 travel hours, equivalent to 265 tonnes of carbon, and over £1million in travel costs.
Through our development of these tools, we’re now able to offer Virtual Site Access (VSA) – a comprehensive technology suite allowing remote access and monitoring of sites – that’s evolving at a brilliant rate. Implementing these digital-first changes shows just how much of a difference an innovative technology-driven approach can make.
At AtkinsRéalis we pride ourselves on our culture that fosters innovation and encourages creativity and the opportunities we offer for development. Not only are ways of working changing, but so are career paths, and we’re adapting to enhance our teams’ experiences and give them what they need to thrive. We champion inclusivity in our workforce because we value diversity in skills, in thought and in approaches. As we like to say: different makes a difference.
