Future uncertainties, from economic shifts
to climate change, are complicating the
business landscape. For organisations to
perform at their best, they need be agile in
responding to opportunities and challenges.
To make the right decisions, they require
relevant and informed insight into trends.
To succeed, they must use their resources wisely and respond to
risks and opportunities appropriately.
By integrating our technical, design and management consulting
expertise, Arup provides insightful advice and design pragmatic
solutions. We draw on our breadth of technical and operational
expertise todevelop a clear understanding of the issues and
complexities within our clients’ businesses and have the focus
and drive to deliver results.
Arup’s Consulting group comprises of 22 teams working
across management consulting, planning and technology. The
capability is shaped by our engineering heritage and informed
by our diverse skills and experiences. Our teams comprise of
experienced consultants with backgrounds in infrastructure,
organisational change, business transformation, urban planning,
market research, investment banking and accounting.
We focus on delivering breakthrough solutions at the critical
point where our client’s assets and infrastructure initiatives

Acoustics
Helping clients achieve their acoustical aspirations, from
creating concert halls with beautiful sound to reducing
the impact of airport noise.
We offer an international design service, providing a full range of
architectural, building, transport and environmental acoustic solutions,
in addition to sound and audio visual systems design. Our breadth of
skills and experience enables us to offer advice from conception and
masterplanning, through planning application, design, construction,
testing and commissioning.
In 2003, we launched SoundLab, an innovative, purpose-built listening
environment which allows clients and designers to listen to existing acoustic
spaces, as well as those that are being designed. SoundLab helps us give
stakeholders a more accurate understanding of environmental noise impacts
for planned developments. That insight, together with our experience in
managing noise and vibration issues, helps us resolve potential hurdles at
planning stage, win acceptance and secure consents.
Our leaders are internationally recognised in all aspects of acoustic
consulting and in the acoustic design of performing arts buildings and
railways. We understand that acoustic excellence is fundamental to
performing arts projects and profoundly influences the design. To that end,
we deliver value for clients when providing early strategic advice to a project.
Case studies
Stormen Kulturkvartalet
Situated above the Arctic Circle
in the Norwegian city of Bodø,
Stormen is one of the world’s first
fully-convertible multi-purpose
auditoria. Stormen is able to host
complex theatre shows with a
proscenium stage, a full flytower of
international standard and variable-
sized orchestra pit. It can also fully
transform its interior structure to
deliver world-class symphony
concerts in a traditional shoe box
hall. The transformation from a
concert hall to a proscenium theatre
takes little more than an hour.
HS2 Ltd Auralisation
As part of Arup’s work on HS2, the
Arup SoundLab was used to allow
people to hear first-hand what the
high speed trains could sound like
in different locations along the
proposed route, for the first time
on any infrastructure project. The
sophisticated purpose built acoustic
facility has also allowed the project
to test the effect of different design
options such as the inclusion of
noise reduction measures and the
latest train technology including
aerodynamic noise control.
Construction Noise Monitoring
To reduce the risk of noise
complaints from the construction
site at Milton Court, Arup’s
acoustics team provided an
innovative noise monitoring
system. This system included a
live screen that was installed in the
construction site office and also
accessible from mobile devices.
This screen displayed, in real time,
information on the site’s noise. It
included various alarm levels that
triggered when noise limits were
close to being exceeded. A daily
automatic noise report was emailed
to stakeholders.

“I haven’t enjoyed playing anywhere as
much for a long time. The feeling on stage
is close to perfect, with that beautiful warm
wood all around and the dimensions are
just right; spacious but still intimate. The
acoustics are just fantastic – one can hear
a pin drop and comfortably explore the
extremes of dynamics.”

Advanced Technology and Research
Specialising in the development of inventive, practical
and cost-effective solutions to complex engineering
problems whilst creating exceptional value for clients.
Arup’s Advanced Technology and Research (AT+R) group offers specialist
design and engineering services for the built environment. We work for a
range of clients in the buildings, bridges, civil engineering, automotive,

strategies and advanced numerical optimisation techniques. Including world
class experts in their field, our staff are of the highest technical calibre,
enabling us to provide a centre for expertise, research and innovation; an
important role in the technical leadership of Arup.
Approximately half of our work is for Arup’s Buildings and Infrastructure
Practices, where our skills and experience help our colleagues differentiate
Arup from its competitors, using advanced numerical methods and ‘first
principle’ approaches to find unique engineering solutions.
The rest of our work is for a diverse range of external clients. These projects
keep us technically sharp, aware of the challenges and close to the end users
- helping us understand their needs, significant technological trends and
opportunities for further service development.
Case studies
Singapore Sports Hub
Arup’s movable structure engineers
were instrumental in developing
the retractable roof architectural
concept for this state-of-the-art
stadium. Our wind engineers,
building physicists and materials
technologists worked together on
the design, using materials expertise
and stress analysis to understand the
fixed roof fatigue, bowl cooling and
deployable systems. Our specialist
advice and design allowed the whole
lower seating tier to be rapidly
reconfigured from athletics to
football mode.
High Roller Observation Wheel,
Las Vegas
Providing early strategic and
concept design advice, AT+R helped
the client procure this project. We
engineered the distinctive wheel
cabins, main bearings and drive
system of this record breaking
observation wheel, using 3D stress
analysis to optimise the innovative
single rim design. We applied
materials expertise to procure tightly
curved glass and manage humidity
between the insulating panes, whilst
wind dynamics analysis and thermal
simulation of the cabin helped
enhance passenger comfort.
Midland Goods Shed, London
Our knowledge of historic structures
enabled the redevelopment and
refurbishment of this Grade II listed
building. Within a constrained site we
designed strengthening intervention,
repair and new structures to integrate
with the existing. This has allowed
for a sensitive restoration and
conversion of this Victorian structure,
creating a revitalised, multi-use
commercial space. The regeneration
of the Midland Goods Shed has
created an innovative new focal
point for King’s Cross, whilst
retaining the building’s heritage
and cultural identity.

Airport Development
Through our close collaboration with clients and our
understanding of the complexities of the aviation
industry, we provide holistic solutions that address
a wide range of stakeholder requirements.
Airport development is an aviation focussed team of specialists across
multiple disciplines that understand the strategic, planning and development
aspects of airports, including airport planning and baggage systems.
Our airport planners and baggage specialists work with clients to solve
today’s demands and to anticipate future needs. We develop creative
planning, baggage and operational solutions that balance traffic growth,
evolving airline and airport strategies, commercial demands, emerging
regulatory policy and competing requirements. Our team provides the
professional skills needed to define the strategic development, business
and operational requirements for new airport facilities. This is as well as
updating existing facilities and optimising the capacity of existing assets
including airfields, terminals and baggage systems.
We provide pragmatic solutions, delivering projects that are affordable,
buildable, and operationally efficient, often delivered and implemented
in a capacity constrained, operational environment. Whether working
for regional airports, or the world’s largest hubs, we apply the same
high calibre of analysis, creativity and strategic thinking, focused on
understanding and serving the client’s needs.
Case studies
Copenhagen Airport
Arup’s Airport Development team
was awarded the contract for
developing Copenhagen Airport’s
Long Term Capacity Plan (LTCP).
The scope for the LTCP project was
to develop a terminal and airfield
masterplan for the airport to grow to
38.5 million passengers per annum
by 2035. Arup has developed a range
of expansion options to address
anticipated capacity shortfalls
covering landside, terminal and
airside facilities. Through a rigorous
process of option evaluation and
stakeholder engagement a preferred
airport-wide development strategy
has been agreed.
Heathrow Airport
Arup is Heathrow Airport’s
baggage programme designers for
Q6 (2014-2019), responsible for
the design of all baggage project
solutions. Beyond designing the
schemes, Arup’s role then moves
into one of a concept guardian;
reviewing technical queries and
managing the concession requests
as technical support to the Heathrow
project manager. Our work is
being delivered successfully in
a transformational period for
Heathrow which has included the
opening of Terminal 2 and the
subsequent closure of the airport’s
Terminal 1.
Istanbul New Airport
Since the airport’s inception, Arup
has provided masterplanning
services for the future six runway,
two terminal, 150 million passenger
per annum airport. This includes
the planning of all airfield elements
including runway and taxiway
geometry and stand planning.
Our team also developed the
passenger terminal programme of
requirements, undertaken dynamic
simulation modelling of passengers
flows and aircraft movements,
planning of support facilities,
and airside and landside road
network planning. The studies are
underpinned by the development
and evaluation of robust masterplan,

Building Performance and Systems
Helping optimise the performance of buildings to ensure
they perform as efficiently and effectively as they were
designed to do.
Better performing buildings mean better performing organisations. Happy,
healthy and comfortable occupants are the litmus of the building’s success
and the business which it serves. As such, we give equal emphasis to
building performance for both the technical and human aspects to deliver
a balanced outcome. Our services span the lifecycle of the building from
concept through construction, operation and feedback which enables
continuous improvement.
Our wide-ranging expertise along with a deep understanding of the
mechanism of rating buildings, such as DEC, LEED and BREEAM,
significantly improve performance – giving you more value for your
investment. Ensuring occupant satisfaction and wellbeing can be derived
using our state-of-the-art methodology to carry out feedback studies of
occupants in buildings worldwide. Studies are benchmarked against a
database of more than 850 buildings. Lessons are learnt and new and
refurbished buildings become part of a continual cycle to improvement.
Clients such as The Crown Estate, Adidas and Procter  Gamble rely on
our building performance expertise to enhance their facilities around the
world. In the UK, we are also helping clients to meet increasingly tough
legislation such as the Carbon Reduction Commitment.
Case studies
Derwent London
The Arup Appraise service was
applied to three principal buildings
in Derwent’s portfolio, indicating
opportunities for the improvement
of building performance. Arup
recommended implementation of
automatic metering linked into
effective energy management
procedures. This resulted in refining
the controls of major plant items
to just essential use and better
management of low energy use.
The client has seen significant
operational cost savings during
the first phase of the project with
generic solutions that can be
extended to other buildings in
their portfolio.
Ofgem (No 9 Millbank)
Built in 1929, this Grade II listed
building is constructed with solid
stone faced walls, steel frames
and concrete pot floors. Arup
carried out a building performance
evaluation which identified
measures to reduce energy, carbon
and cost. Recommendations were
taken through to specification,
implementation of the remedial
works and validation following
completion. The outcome has been
a 20% reduction in electricity use,
50% reduction in gas use and 30%
reduction in emissions, leading
to a commendation in the CIBSE
Building Performance Awards.
.
The Crown Estate
Since 2012, Arup has developed a
carbon and sustainability strategy
for the The Crown Estate’s (CE)
urban business. The strategy
covers both existing properties
and new developments. We have
implemented a sustainability
reporting framework that has been
rolled out across all developments
and refurbishments since April 2015
and will help maximise all future
operational developments. Within
the second year, the programme,
which covers the CE’s London
portfolio is forecast to deliver
carbon reductions of 460t CO2 per
annum and will reduce operational
costs by £130,000.

“Arup has been working with Ofgem for the
last five years and in this time Ofgem’s DEC
rating has dropped from a G-165 down to a
D-79. This reduction has been in no small
part due to Arup looking at our building
processes and advising us on strategies.”

mitigation and adaption. This has
included the Climate Action in
Megacities series. Through this
partnership, Arup is helping city
authorities to understand how other
cities have successfully tackled
shared challenges and provide
them with the skills to undertake
suitable climate action that makes a
meaningful difference.
100 Resilient Cities (100RC)
Centennial Challenge
The Rockefeller Foundation (RF)
pioneered 100RC as part of their
Centennial Challenge to help
cities better prepare for, withstand
and recover from the shocks and
stresses they face. Arup is engaged
by the 100RC as strategic partners,
supporting 11 cities in the design
and development of City Resilience
Strategies. Building on the City
Resilience Framework, developed
by Arup for RF, we are supporting
each city to produce a bespoke
resilience strategy that includes a
full capacity assessment of their
assets and functions, as well as a
resilience vision and objectives.

Case studies
Ecology Masterplan for The
Crown Estate’s Wild West End
Arup is working with The Crown
Estate to establish a green corridor
across its London portfolio.
Benefits will include enhanced
biodiversity, improved air quality,
reduced heat island effect, increased
storm water retention and a more
visually attractive environment.
Our masterplan includes KPI
measurement including green space
established, as well as commercial
value and tenant satisfaction.
Arup helped to develop credibility
and support for the plan across
stakeholders. This work is based
on Arup’s Cities Alive – Rethinking
Green Infrastructure approach.
HS2 Ltd
The Arup environmental team
has been involved in multiple
projects on HS2, in particular as
Environmental Overview Consultant
providing guidance to all the other
consultancies on the project. This
required producing the scope and
methodology reports and over 100
technical notes detailing approaches
for specific environmental issues to
ensure consistency across the entire
assessment. In addition, Arup led the
consortium that undertook all route-
wide assessments for the project and
reviewed all the work produced by
others. We also produced a robust
and compliant Environmental
Statement for the West Midlands
Metropolitan Area.
Seychelles Strategic Masterplan
One of a number of international
multidisciplinary projects, Arup
has carried out the preparation
of the Seychelles Strategic
Masterplan. The project, led by
the Arup planning team, includes
the development of strategic
plans to guide governments to
the most optimal development
pathways which will protect and
enhance their country’s economic,
social and environmental needs.
The masterplan brought together
multiple disciplines including
planning, environmental and
infrastructure. The context
required flexibility and adaptability
to channel our environmental
knowledge into a new context.

Fire Engineering
Enabling clients to discover what can be achieved
through imagination, passion and innovative fire
engineering service.
Fire engineering is a fundamental component of multidisciplinary design
in the built environment. Arup specialists work closely with clients to help
them define their goals and objectives. Our innovative solutions go beyond
compliance to include social, economic or environmental goals, as well as
protection of people, assets, reputation and operation.
Our service offering is based on engineering fundamentals, founded through
research and development. This allows us to innovate through extensive
knowledge of fire dynamics, human behaviour, structural behaviour and risk,
each essential to fire safety design in the built environment.
Fire engineering does not stop once the design is complete. Arup has a
long track record of providing practical advice during tender, construction,
commissioning and handover in order to maintain the quality and integrity
of the fire strategy into the operational stage of the building. Our strong links
with academia ensure we stay at the cutting edge of fire safety design.
Drawing on our global presence, we share knowledge, information and best
practice across sectors and geographies, ensuring we deliver efficient, cost-
effective results to our clients anywhere in the world.
Case studies
Sky Believe in Better Building
Sky’s new Believe in Better building
is an office and training facility with
a clear social idea based around
community focus, designed to
enhance the well being of the users.
Through informing architectural
design at an early stage, our fire
strategy promotes these principles
whilst ensuring compliance.
Our work included promoting
visual/mobility access between
spaces with no protected stairs or
escapes routes whilst reducing the
need for unnecessary fire rated
compartmentation and the treatment
of a large amount of timber. Arup’s
close partnership with the client
and contractors resulted in the
delivery of a unique workplace built
efficiently in half the time expected
for similar buildings.
Birmingham New Street Station
The refurbishment of Birmingham
New Street and the Pallasades
shopping mall is one of the largest
infrastructure projects in the UK
with an estimated construction
value of over £600 million. Arup
was appointed to provide a dynamic
fire strategy to enable the multiple
work packages to proceed in a
24 hour working environment;
creating management responses
and temporary fire safety solutions.
Arup allowed the shopping centre
to operate as normal during the
construction works program. Our
involvement has also provided
justification for continuous
construction works on platform
levels which would not otherwise
be allowed.
The Shard
Several parts of Arup collaborated
on the design of The Shard –
western Europe’s tallest tower. At
72 storeys, this unique building
houses a mixture of occupancies
such as office, public viewing
galleries, restaurants and residential
apartments. The fire strategy for
the building was based on phased
evacuation and the use of lifts as a
primary means of escape. Arup’s
design offered robust evacuation
and suppression strategies without
compromising the architectural
vision. Our involvement has been
critical in enabling a complicated
mix of uses to be housed in a
single building, utilising shared
escape routes in order to maximise
efficiency and net lettable area.

Lighting Design
In skilled hands, lighting becomes the fourth dimension
of architecture, integrating and enhancing other design
disciplines.
We offer a comprehensive lighting design service, from initial strategic
advice and concept development through to construction documents and
on-site support for all markets worldwide.
Lighting at Arup brings together art, science and technology. Our team
of designers create expressive, sustainable and award-winning concepts
with light.
We understand the interplay of structural form and lighting, and work with
architects and artists to provide authentic conceptual designs. Our technical
knowledge ensures that concepts become viable solutions.
Our extensive knowledge of how lighting affects people at work, at home,
at school and at play equips us to shape solutions that are as positive for
people as they are sustainable for the environment and for businesses.
We bring thoughtful approaches to lighting into masterplans to create
better places. This positively impacts our environments; creating more
liveable places for urban dwellers, whilst also considering how lighting
defines placemaking.
Case studies
Cities Alive - Rethinking the
Shades of Night
This thought leadership publication
looks at the role of light in
creating human-centred urban
night-time environments. The
report emphasises a more context-
sensitive design approach and a
holistic integration of lighting
infrastructure into the urban fabric.
It explores the future of cities at
night, analysing existing research
and future trends. The proposed
design approach goes beyond
lighting as a functional add-on,
but looks at how when considered
properly it can create vibrant,
prosperous, safe and inclusive
places for those who live, work
and play in cities – at all hours.
Glasgow School of Arts,
Reid Building
The Reid Building provides the
Glasgow School of Art (GSA) with
excellent new teaching and studio
facilities. Our lighting design team
worked closely with the architect to
deliver the specialist lighting design
and clear architectural vision. As
well as the electric lighting design,
we carried out studies to provide
technical support for the daylighting
design, which ultimately enabled the
finished building’s sculpted concrete
interior to work with the natural
light, providing remarkable studio
and workshop spaces. The project
won the 2014 Lux Award for the
Education  Healthcare Project
of the Year.
Bentley Hero
The Bentley Hero Light project
aimed to transfer the rich heritage,
prestige and brand identity from
the luxury automobiles into the
purchasing experience. As the
focus of the new showroom, the
6m diameter Barrisol pendant is
suspended as a centrepiece directly
above the car below. This uniformly
lights the paint finish of the vehicle
below with high CRI LED light
sources and allows the direct
reflection of the paintwork to reveal
the form and character lines of the
car. Various lighting control options
detailed into the Hero Light allow
adjustability, important for tuning
the light in Bentley dealerships
around the globe.

understanding of the sheer complexity
of physical, economic and social
conditions within the Inner City. It
creates a development framework
that is accumulative in its nature.
The ‘ripple effect’starts with small
interventions – localised projects, that
are delivered in the short term and
will seed immediate change in the
Inner City. These will act as catalysts
for a much wider support system
and investment in the Inner City and
deliver wide community benefits and
long term growth.

Materials Consulting
Ensuring materials are used appropriately, enabling
clients to manage their costs, programme, and risk
and helping owners of existing assets understand and
solve problems.
Everything in the built environment relies on the use of materials. As a
consequence, the materials team enjoy the opportunity to work in virtually
every market that Arup work in, providing specialist advice. With experts
in concrete, metals, glass, stone, brick, timber and composites, we advise
at all stages of a project, from concept design through the full life-cycle.
Our specialists explore different combinations of materials, devise test
programmes and carry out design and field research. This is based on
knowledge from tried and tested processes, such as forming and fabricating
metals, using glass structurally in adventurous new ways, and selecting
more sustainable materials and processes to reduce environmental impacts.
We apply materials in novel and challenging ways, focussing on the
importance of context. For our clients this means enhanced choice, based
on optimised value and reduced risks. Our advice is truly independent and
based on the most appropriate solution for a given application.
We reduce risk and provide freedom of choice, particularly in the early
stages of a project. This enables our clients to design and build more
innovative, challenging and valuable projects. Our rigorous research
provides reassurance that the materials are used appropriately, aesthetically
and cost-effectively to produce a robust and durable solution.
Case studies
Bombay Sapphire Distillery
Working in close collaboration with
the building contractor and architect,
our materials and structural engineers

the detailed design, allowing for
the circular ‘pleated’ structure of
the glasshouses and ‘flow-lines’.
Our materials experts advised on
the complex materials production
technology required to successfully
fulfil the architects’ vision.
Turnmill building
Providing materials expertise
for the new six storey, multi-use,
commercial building in Clerkenwell,

Case studies
The Be Open Sound Portal
The Be Open Sound Portal is a
travelling pavilion conceived and
designed by Arup for the tenth
anniversary of the London Design
Festival. Sound Portal was publicly
opened in September 2012, in
London’s famous Trafalgar Square,
one of the busiest and aurally
chaotic environments in the city.
Visitors to Sound Portal experience
ambisonic sound, using advanced
audio technologies to deliver an
immersive listening experience. Sir
John Sorrell OBE has described it
as ‘an extraordinary piece of design
and creativity from Arup’.
Abacus Stadium Seat
Designed for the global market,
Arup’s product designers created the
open, ergonomic seat, designed to
suit a wide variety of body shapes
and sizes and maximise sitting
comfort. The seat shape has been
devised to avoid wasting space in
curved rows, thereby having the
potential to increase seat numbers
for a stadium. Abacus consists of just
four main component parts, the back,
seat and two clips used to attach
these parts to the horizontal beam.
These market leading seats have
been installed in stadiums around
the globe, including the Groupama
Arena in Hungary and the Kadzielnia
Amphitheatre in Poland.
Pocket Habitat
Pocket Habitat was developed by
Arup to promote wildflower growth
and biodiversity on existing building
roofs and urban land, providing
shape and structure as well as
enhancing wildlife in hard standing
areas. Pocket Habitat’s flexible
envelope is engineered to provide
sheltered, shaded and exposed
areas to enhance plant growth. The
pockets accommodate a range of soil
substrates that are used and this adds
an even greater impression of texture
and visual beauty, also promoting
different communities of species.

Case studies
Western Cape Government
We analysed the client’s security and
public safety functions in support of
twelve identified strategic objectives.
This included a comprehensive
diagnosis of safety and security
of the provincial government’s
assets and staff, as well as users
of their services. We assessed
how they approached security at
a policy level, applied resources,
and organised security functions
across all of their departments and
institutions. Following endorsement
by the Premier and Cabinet, we
developed a timetable, deliverables
and costing model associated with
delivery of four strategic long term
programmes identified to implement
our recommendations.

for a new 70,000m2
headquarters.
The design will provide world
class security and resilience
through structural design and
flexible physical, electronic and
operational security applications
allowing response to varying
threat levels and scenarios. The
structural frame has been designed
using a novel structural collapse
analysis methodology developed
by Arup with Imperial College
London to demonstrate structural
robustness and resistance against
disproportionate collapse.
Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park
Arup acted as interim Head of
Security and then on-going advisor
to develop the Security Strategy and
Security Plan for the Park. Arup
transformed the legacy security for
the London 2012 Olympic Games,
to create a safe and secure public
park by employing “Secured by
Design” and CPTED principles.
Arup designed and implemented
operational, technical and incident
management elements for general
and special events across the
Park and its venues. Arup has
also assisted The London Legacy

Case studies
Stormen
Stormen, Bodø’s new cultural
centre in the Arctic Circle, opened
to critical acclaim in 2014. It houses
a full spectrum of cultural facilities
on a constrained city-centre site
overlooking the fjord. Stor Sal, the
largest and most complex space, was
uniquely conceived as both world-
class concert hall and fully-specified
theatre. Arup Venues designed a
unique array of embedded acoustic
and technical systems to deliver
acoustic and operational excellence
in each mode. Transformation from a
concert hall to a proscenium theatre
takes little more than an hour.
Victoria Halls
This historic venue, located in the
heart of downtown Singapore,
comprises twin auditoria: a theatre
and concert hall. It is home to the
Singapore Symphony Orchestra
and is an important centre for
the performing arts. Recent
refurbishment work centred on
improving both public and back-
of-house spaces and upgrading
them to modern, professional
standards. Arup played a key role
in the restoration of the building
by developing the overall brief for
the project and implementing this
with the design team through to the
successful conclusion.
Gulbenkian
Originally constructed in the late
1960’s, the Grande Auditório recently
underwent a thorough refurbishment
to transform the hall into one of the
most modern and technologically
advanced performance venues of
its kind. Our Venues and Acoustics
teams were appointed to review
the future needs of the venue,
analysing the existing systems and
making recommendations for their
refurbishment and replacement.
Restoration extended to the
auditorium, the stage, the rehearsal
rooms and all technical support zones
including a complex and intricate
sub-stage platform lift system.

Transport Consulting
Integrating communities and supporting economic
growth by providing sustainable and efficient transport
systems with environmental benefits. Our work is all
about moving people and connecting places.
By providing smart and resilient transport solutions, we help cities and
regions upgrade their infrastructure to cope with the pressures of urbanisation
and changing demands. Working across all geographies, our transport
consultants recognise that the transport market is changing significantly
due to social, economic and environmental trends which are combining
with emerging technologies and mobility concepts. We also recognise that
this change is inevitable, so we aim to create adaptable transport solutions
that can evolve to serve the demands of future generations.
By focusing on people as the end users, we deliver integrated outcomes
which promote connectivity and access to employment, education, retail,
health and leisure. This helps to optimise our solutions, by considering
safety, reliability and cost, the quality of the environment and ease of access
to transport modes. Our long term view focuses on prosperity, efficiency
and well-being to support sustainable communities, improve health and
encourage economic growth and regeneration. We work across all transport
modes – from walking to cycling, buses to trains, and taxis to freight – to
support multidisciplinary projects, urban masterplans, or specific local
transport-related solutions for clients including government, transport
operators and private developers.
Case studies
Guildford Town and Approaches
Movement Study
Arup’s study is the first step in
developing a long-term transport
strategy for Guildford, enabling
the Borough Council to secure the
infrastructure needed to sustain the
town as one of the leading centres
in the south east. The study provides
a vision for sustainable mobility
in Guildford, proposing a new
‘sustainable movement corridor’.
This is both an accessible pathway
through the town for pedestrians
and cyclists and a priority public
transport route for fast and direct
connections between key locations.
Other recommendations include
traffic flow management, improving
walking and cycling networks and
enhancing the design of the town
centre environment.
Euston Station for
High Speed 2
Arup’s transport consultants
have been working closely with a
multidisciplinary Arup team and
architects, Grimshaw, to produce
an incremental staged design that
will allow construction of the new
high speed station while maintaining
services at the existing station.
The station’s 11 new high speed
platforms will be built in two stages
as part of a phased approach to
enable existing services to continue
operating. London Underground
facilities at Euston will also be
significantly enhanced with greater
space and connections including a
new ticket hall and direct subway
to Euston Square station. Access to
taxis, buses and cycles will also be
greatly improved.
Govia Thameslink
Railway
We are working in partnership with
Govia Thameslink Railway to help
meet its franchise obligations and
achieve its business plan in relation
to the Thameslink Programme,
aiding the integration of train
operating activities alongside key
partners, Network Rail and Siemens.
The government-sponsored
£6.5bn programme will improve
connections and deliver more
reliable journeys. Key milestones
include the introduction of the new
Class 700 trains on Thameslink
and Great Northern services, the
redevelopment of London Bridge
station by Network Rail and the
eventual introduction of 24 trains
per hour operating across a range
of destinations in London.

We offer an international design service, providing a full range of architectural, building, transport and environmental acoustic solutions, in addition to sound and audio visual systems design. Our breadth of skills and experience enables us to offer advice from conception and masterplanning, through planning application, design, construction, testing and commissioning. In 2003, we launched SoundLab, an innovative, purpose-built listening environment which allows clients and designers to listen to existing acoustic spaces, as well as those that are being designed. SoundLab helps us give stakeholders a more accurate understanding of environmental noise impacts for planned developments. That insight, together with our experience in managing noise and vibration issues, helps us resolve potential hurdles at planning stage, win acceptance and secure consents. Our leaders are internationally recognised in all aspects of acoustic consulting and in the acoustic design of performing arts buildings and railways. We understand that acoustic excellence is fundamental to performing arts projects and profoundly influences the design. To that end, we deliver value for clients when providing early strategic advice to a project. Case studies Stormen Kulturkvartalet Situated above the Arctic Circle in the Norwegian city of Bodø, Stormen is one of the world’s first fully-convertible multi-purpose auditoria. Stormen is able to host complex theatre shows with a proscenium stage, a full flytower of international standard and variable- sized orchestra pit. It can also fully transform its interior structure to deliver world-class symphony concerts in a traditional shoe box hall. The transformation from a concert hall to a proscenium theatre takes little more than an hour. HS2 Ltd Auralisation As part of Arup’s work on HS2, the Arup SoundLab was used to allow people to hear first-hand what the high speed trains could sound like in different locations along the proposed route, for the first time on any infrastructure project. The sophisticated purpose built acoustic facility has also allowed the project to test the effect of different design options such as the inclusion of noise reduction measures and the latest train technology including aerodynamic noise control. Construction Noise Monitoring To reduce the risk of noise complaints from the construction site at Milton Court, Arup’s acoustics team provided an innovative noise monitoring system. This system included a live screen that was installed in the construction site office and also accessible from mobile devices. This screen displayed, in real time, information on the site’s noise. It included various alarm levels that triggered when noise limits were close to being exceeded. A daily automatic noise report was emailed to stakeholders. Clients include BBC BAA British Land Cambridge University Department for Education and Science Highways Agency HS2 Ltd “I haven’t enjoyed playing anywhere as much for a long time. The feeling on stage is close to perfect, with that beautiful warm wood all around and the dimensions are just right; spacious but still intimate. The acoustics are just fantastic – one can hear a pin drop and comfortably explore the extremes of dynamics.” Daniel Rowland Brodsky Quartet, on the concert hall of the Colyer Fergusson Building

Arup’s Advanced Technology and Research (AT+R) group offers specialist design and engineering services for the built environment. We work for a range of clients in the buildings, bridges, civil engineering, automotive, railway, nuclear energy, petrochemical and power generation sectors. Multidisciplinary teams work collaboratively on projects, generating value through developing and applying innovative concepts, alternative design strategies and advanced numerical optimisation techniques. Including world class experts in their field, our staff are of the highest technical calibre, enabling us to provide a centre for expertise, research and innovation; an important role in the technical leadership of Arup. Approximately half of our work is for Arup’s Buildings and Infrastructure Practices, where our skills and experience help our colleagues differentiate Arup from its competitors, using advanced numerical methods and ‘first principle’ approaches to find unique engineering solutions. The rest of our work is for a diverse range of external clients. These projects keep us technically sharp, aware of the challenges and close to the end users - helping us understand their needs, significant technological trends and opportunities for further service development. Case studies Singapore Sports Hub Arup’s movable structure engineers were instrumental in developing the retractable roof architectural concept for this state-of-the-art stadium. Our wind engineers, building physicists and materials technologists worked together on the design, using materials expertise and stress analysis to understand the fixed roof fatigue, bowl cooling and deployable systems. Our specialist advice and design allowed the whole lower seating tier to be rapidly reconfigured from athletics to football mode. High Roller Observation Wheel, Las Vegas Providing early strategic and concept design advice, AT+R helped the client procure this project. We engineered the distinctive wheel cabins, main bearings and drive system of this record breaking observation wheel, using 3D stress analysis to optimise the innovative single rim design. We applied materials expertise to procure tightly curved glass and manage humidity between the insulating panes, whilst wind dynamics analysis and thermal simulation of the cabin helped enhance passenger comfort. Midland Goods Shed, London Our knowledge of historic structures enabled the redevelopment and refurbishment of this Grade II listed building. Within a constrained site we designed strengthening intervention, repair and new structures to integrate with the existing.

It explores the future of cities at night, analysing existing research and future trends. The proposed design approach goes beyond lighting as a functional add-on, but looks at how when considered properly it can create vibrant, prosperous, safe and inclusive places for those who live, work and play in cities – at all hours. Glasgow School of Arts, Reid Building The Reid Building provides the Glasgow School of Art (GSA) with excellent new teaching and studio facilities. Our lighting design team worked closely with the architect to deliver the specialist lighting design and clear architectural vision. As well as the electric lighting design, we carried out studies to provide technical support for the daylighting design, which ultimately enabled the finished building’s sculpted concrete interior to work with the natural light, providing remarkable studio and workshop spaces. The project won the 2014 Lux Award for the Education Healthcare Project of the Year. Bentley Hero The Bentley Hero Light project aimed to transfer the rich heritage, prestige and brand identity from the luxury automobiles into the purchasing experience. As the focus of the new showroom, the 6m diameter Barrisol pendant is suspended as a centrepiece directly above the car below. This uniformly lights the paint finish of the vehicle below with high CRI LED light sources and allows the direct reflection of the paintwork to reveal the form and character lines of the car. Various lighting control options detailed into the Hero Light allow adjustability, important for tuning the light in Bentley dealerships around the globe. Clients include Al Jazeera Argent BBC David Chipperfield Derwent Herzog de Meuron Network Rail Renzo Piano Science Museum Zaha Hadid “Most lighting firms lean towards either being technically or artistically inclined, but not both. Arup demonstrates a thorough knowledge of the technical aspects of lighting design while maintaining a creative approach.” Antionne Chaaya Partner, Renzo Piano Building Workshop
