Energy and Power - Waterman

Energy & Power

Access to energy and power is fundamental to almost every aspect of our daily lives, and with the government’s Net Zero targets high on the agenda, now is the time to deliver cleaner, greener, and more efficient power for the UK.

That’s why we’re helping to appraise, select and remediate the sites, and design, deliver and maintain the facilities and infrastructure behind the generation, storage and distribution of power and energy right across the UK.

For over 30 years, we’ve been providing a wide range of support to the energy sector, delivering engineering and specialist environmental consultancy services throughout the full asset lifecycle, from site selection, pre-planning, remediation, and design through to construction, operation and divestment. Our experience spans the full spectrum of power, waste handling and Energy from Waste (EfW) projects, in addition to the essential infrastructure which underpins and connects these, and we’re highly experienced in delivering cost-effective and sustainable energy solutions for our clients.

Our team has the technical skills, resources, and experience to undertake a range of schemes from smaller-scale local projects to some of the largest and most complex in the country. We take a different approach to design, seeing us successfully deliver everything from innovative biomass co-firing schemes through to waste transfer stations and leading-edge thermal recycling plants.

With a full range of in-house expertise, our multidisciplinary team of environmental and engineering specialists is harnessing the latest technology to carry out surveys, investigations and inspections which are central to the site selection and asset monitoring regimes of some of the largest power and energy portfolios in the UK. Our optimum design solutions ensure buildings, plant and equipment function in synergy with stringent technical and safety requirements, whilst also minimising operational energy consumption and driving down embodied carbon.

To support sustained growth in the UK’s renewable energy sector, we’re delivering designs and consultancy for some of the most significant manufacturing facilities which deliver wind turbine blades, sub-sea cables, and marine wind turbine bases, seeing us work with clients such as Siemens, SeAH Wind, and JDR Cables. In addition, we’re also helping the UK prepare for a Net Zero future by supporting the design and delivery of renewable energy generation, power storage, energy from waste, hydrogen, and carbon capture schemes with clients such as Orsted and BP.

Our specialists are also delivering CHP/heat offtake optimisation and low-carbon heat integration, and, with EfW being brought into the UK Emissions Trading Scheme from 2026, we have the expertise to handle the monitoring, reporting and verification requirements for your assets and operations in the energy sector.
