The Sheffield University Student Accommodation Project comprises the design, build, finance and operation of more than 4,000 new student rooms across the university’s campus. The project includes demolition of existing accommodation blocks and construction of 39 new accommodation blocks, two new hub buildings and refurbishment of two existing buildings on the site.

Appointed as “preferred bidder” in May 2005, the project team progressed the scheme design to enable financial close. The £140 millionproject started on site in March 2006 and is scheduled to complete by September 2009. Completed phases willbe handed over in September 2006, 2007 and 2008 to suit the academic year. Scott Wilson was part of the successful PFI team led by Bovis Lend Lease and has provided an active multi-disciplinary design service which includes civil and structural engineering, geotechnics, environmental and ecology advice, landscape architecture, building acoustics and BREEAMassessment. The student housing comprises buildings varying between three and six storeys in height.

We have recently carried out an independent economic assessment of the proposed uranium/gold mines at the Buffelsfontein and Ezulwini mines in the Witwatersrand Basin in South Africa. Client First Uranium Corporation used the reports to support its Initial Public Offering of shares.

The study required an environmental analysis and a review of mineral resources and infrastructure at the Buffelsfontein tailings recovery operation and a geological and mining review of shaft pillar recovery at Ezulwini underground mine.

Scott Wilson strengthened its mining capability after acquiring the Canadian consultancy Roscoe Postle Associates (RPA), one of the world’s leaders in assessing the feasibility of new mine projects.

As a result, our Canada and UK-based mining teams have combined the strengths of RPAwith Scott Wilson’s existing multi-disciplinary services to provide a one-stop shop for geological, mining and environmental consultancy services. We can also bring in skills from other divisions such as roads, ports and railways,” says Clow. A lot of our competitors can’t do that and it makes a big difference.”

The project was then sold to European Goldfields Plc who turned to us to prepare an updated feasibility study.

ROADS TO SUCCESS

Scott Wilson has been demonstrating the success of an innovative contract form in the UK that is halving the time it takes to build a road. Our work on the £92m A30 Bodmin to Indian Queens highway scheme is an example of a contract under which we as the designer work closely with the contractor at concept stage rather than after the scheme has been designed and approved.

Early work with the contractor focuses on the “buildability” of the road to give the client assurance that the project is viable and affordable. One of the Highways Agencys key performance indicators is Partnership Working in which Scott Wilson scores very highly.This made us the obvious choice to be appointed with contractor Alfred McAlpine for this flagship scheme.

“The road was completed earlier than planned in summer 2007 and within budget so we are showing that it really is working,” says Director (Highways) Paul Bracegirdle. “Road schemes from conception to completion in the past were taking about 12 years on average but we have done this scheme in less than half the time.”

The A30 is one of many major schemes that our multi-disciplinary Highways teams are doing all over the world. Our cutting edge research and assessment includes sophisticated computer modelling to compare accident ratings before and after the scheme and exhaustive environmental studies from our in-house team of ecologists, landscape architects, noise and acoustic specialists, heritage specialists and archaeologists and agriculturalists. Our archaeologists can swiftlycarry out necessary excavation works before construction of a road gets underway

“Bydoing the archaeological investigation ourselves itenables us to assess the commercial risk for the client and this is a really big selling point for us,” says Scott WilsonHead of Environment (UKCentral) Steve McQuade.

“Itcan take much longer if the archaeological work is leftto the public sector.”

A30 DUAL CARRIAGEWAY TREADS SOFTLY

The briefforthe 11.5kmA30Bodminto IndianQueens dual carriagewaypassing through protected countryside in one of the most beautifulareas of England called for a consultant witha sensitivetouch. As a result of our work,the new road winds its waythrough the gentle Cornish hillswithminimalvisual,environmentalor noise impacts whilstallowingflora and fauna to continue to thrive.

Forexample, our landscape architects replicated the historicCornish hedge —

a stone faced earth bank topped off by planting — creating a noise barrier that blends in seamlessly and provides naturalhabitats fordoormice and other species.

Thisis one of manynew habitats providedas part of our environmentalmitigation that includes bat boxes in new woodland that were planted as part of the scheme. Meanwhile,smalltunnels under the road were bored to ensure that otters and badgers can cross safely .

Endangered species at three protected areas in Vietnam are being saved under a scheme to educate the local community about protecting their area and benefiting from it by running eco-tourism projects.

This is just one of the schemes we have set up in the YokDon, Ba Be and Na Hang national parks under a scheme aimed to reconcile economic development with conserving protected species and biodiversity.

“These are all protected areas in which there is a residential population of indigenous people so the aim was to work with them to develop ways of living and generating income that didn’t damage the ecology and landscape,” says Director of Sustainable Development Andy McNab.

For example, some of the people made their living out of cutting down the forest but our agriculturalists helped them develop alternatives such as commercial fruit cropping at Ba Be National Park.

Our team also included eco-tourism specialists that helped local people develop alternative incomes by developing facilities and that trained guides and park staff in how to serve the eco-tourist.

YokDon in central Vietnam, for example, boasts the only protected example of dry dipterocarp forests in Vietnam that harbour endangered species such as the giant muntjac, Eld’s deer and tiger.

“Itwas a huge challenge because ultimately, if things had carried on the way they were, there was a danger to local communities,” says McNab. “Persuading them that there were alternatives was key.”

WORLD HERITAGE FLOATING CULTURAL CENTRE

UNESCOselected us to reviewthe design, assess tenders and monitorconstruction of a floatingculturalcentre in northern Vietnam.The centre is located in Halong Bay,a UNESCOWorldHeritage site where some 1,600 islands and islets formed by strikingvertical limestonepillarsdot the seascape. The floatingattraction is moored 20kmoffshore in a beautifulsheltered bay near the floatingfishingvillageof Cua Van. The picturesque villagefeatures floatinghouses, fishingboats, floatingfish and shellfishtanks and a floatingschool. Theonlyland-based structure is the villagetemple. Topromote the sustainabilityof this investment in tourism and community development, UNESCO called for the involvement of Cua Van villagers.

The villagers participated with Scott Wilson in monitoring the construction of the centre. Upon completion of the building project, they were given responsibility for managing and maintaining the centre which is used for eco-tourism and conferences. The cultural centre is supported by large glass reinforced plastic (GRP) floats which can be removedfor maintenance.

A two-fold increase in the scope of works during a major port project in INDIA REDEVELOPS FROM BULK TO CONTAINER TERMINAL Malaysia tested our project management skills but we’ve come through with flying colours.

to the complexities of a job in which we were already supervising three different contractors for pavements, buildings and jetty works.

“The project was a major challenge for us” says Project Manager Andrew Walker.“Coordination of scope and definition of contractor’s work limits

became critical along with rapid redesigns. This is where I believe Scott Wilson’sproject management skills added significant value to the

project enabling it to be brought to a successful completion.”

Under Phase 1A,we entered into a joint venture with a local firmto design the 5Dmwide jetty with berthing on both sides, the 425m access bridge and the land reclamation works, including marine piling and bund wall.

“This Three ‘ SUCCESS RECOGNISED

Our success in the last year has led to major awards, recognition and agreements that have heightened our reputation for sustainability and high

ethical standards and framework contracts resulting in a record order book.

We won the New Civil Engineer/ACE Major Firm of the Year award in

recognition of our work and our growth in the last year; organic growth of 24% for the first half of 2006/07 and pre-tax profit that more than doubled to £8 million.

The celebrations continued as we won the New Company of the Year 2006 at the PLCAwards. The award for a recently floated public limited company was for “strong share price growth and management qualities”. Geoff French told us: “Thisaward is recognition for the talent and dedication of our staff.”

These two awards complement Scott Wilson’sachievement in winning the 2006 Shares Magazine award for the Best IPO (InitialPublic Offering).

We’re not stopping there. We have strengthened our ethical credentials by signing up to the UN Global Compact that is bringing together firms all over the world to work towards human rights, labour standards, the environment and anti-corruption.

We have also been accredited by the UK’sCarbon Trust. This means that we are on the framework list of firms that carry out Carbon Trust-funded projects to cut carbon emissions. Co NTACTS Another long term framework contract we have secured in the last year is

the Joint Assistance to Support Projects in European Regions (JASPERS).
