The purpose of this statement is to provide a quick reference for the capabilities of OSL’s E&P team, Capability and Capacity.

c a p a b i l i t y

With resources situated nationwide, OSL currently undertake the majority of all E&P and fixed plant design from the Warrington office with manufacture, installation and management capabilities based at Crewe. We also carry out E&P Design in both Swindon (Wiltshire) and Crewe (Cheshire) in support of other discipline lead projects and to provide resource to Warrington. OSL also plan to open an office in Stevenage (Hertfordshire) and locations to be advised in Wales, London and the East of England.

We currently have an efficient team of: • Fifteen (15) designers (of various status and qualifications) • Supported by four (4) Graduates and (15) technician Grades • We have a growth plan and strategy to increase to sixty

(60) in our current Warrington location alone and ten (10) both in Crewe and Swindon.

Covering (but not limited to) the following disciplines:• Electrical, • Mechanical, • Civil, • Structural, • BIM, 2D & 3D CAD

The team structure supports: • CRE’s, • CEM’s, that can cover across the disciplines to manage

the multi-discipline design delivery. • Principal, Senior and Design Engineers, • CAD and technician levels

In addition to the above, OSL are able to undertake Building services, MEICA and process design for Water, Waste Water, Energy from Waste and both commercial Industrial and buildings from the Warrington office. This allows OSL to undertake station works and refurbishments.

s k i l l / e x p e r i e n c e

Our core team has strength in E&P design and the project management of installations, with a recent addition of installation and testing divisions. OSL have developed a skills matrix to ensure we are able to undertake all the areas of E&P with depth of named labour to ensure designs are fully developed into construction drawings and not simply just proposals.

The OLE Survey capability is supported by our use of a 360-degree camera system, which we use to provide a view unique to the site. The 360 view assists with design and can be annotated with information and measurements made from the view and captures used for reporting and directly importing into BIM tools. The ease of date interpretation results in upmost efficiency. A major benefit of the package is the health and safety application of using it in locations to reduce staff visits.

The typical survey work undertaken: • LV and HV substations; • Power cabling and routes, UTX/OTX; • Power / load monitoring; • Signalling Supply Point/ PSP; • Auxiliary Power Supply Points; • Functional Supply Points;• Points heating; • Lighting; depots, track side, stations; • Building Services; • CCTV.

The purpose of this statement is to provide a quick reference for the capabilities of OSL’s Utilities team, Capability and Capacity.

c a p a b i l i t y

OSL currently undertakes the majority of all our Utilities design and Project Management from our Warrington office with Manufacture, installation and management capabilities from our Crewe Headquarters. We also have an office in Swindon (Wiltshire) and Stevenage (Hertfordshire), and locations to be advised in Wales, London and east of England.

The utilities we cover are; water, waste water and waste treatment plant and network facilities.

We currently have an efficient design team of: • Fifteen (15) designers (of various status and qualifications);• Supported by four (4) Graduates and (15) technician Grades;• We have a growth plan and strategy to increase to

sixty (60) in our current Warrington location alone and ten (10) both in Crewe and Swindon locations.

The design team covering (but not limited to) the following disciplines:• Mechanical;• Electrical;• ICA;• Civil;• Structural;• BIM, 2D & 3D CAD;• Process.

The team structure supports: • Engineering Manager;• Project Engineers / Project Managers;• Principal, Senior and Design Engineers;• CAD and technician levels.

In addition to the above OSL are able to and do undertake; Building Services, MEICA, Energy from Waste, both Commercial Industrial and Buildings, Rail E&P, Rail OLE, Rail Signalling Design and station works, new and refurbishments.

s k i l l / e x p e r i e n c e

Our core team has strength in Utility; Project Management, Design, Installation, Management / undertaking Testing and Commissioning. OSL have developed a skills matrix to ensure we are able to undertake all the areas of Utilities with depth of named labour to ensure designs are fully developed into construction drawings and not simply proposals.

The Survey capability is supported by our use of a 360 degree camera system, which we use to provide a view unique to the site. The 360 view assists with design and can be annotated with; information, measurement made from the view and captures used for reporting and directly imported into BIM tools. The tool is used as a norm not only for clients but for efficient time use to avoid the need for repeated return site visits.

The typical survey work undertaken:• Mechanical and electrical plant condition survey• LV and HV substations,• Power cabling and routes,• Pipework routing,• Power / load monitoring,• Lighting,• Process review,• Building Services,• CCTV

d e s i g n

The design team have been involved at all levels of design from needs, optioneering, proposal and detail design with a strong consideration of the TOTEX and cover the following areas:• Water treatment• Water pumping• Dosing plant• Waste water treatment• Sewage pumping• Waste water sludge treatment• Waste water sludge pumping• Waste process treatment• Waste Plant traffic management

The design that can be provided for each area includes:• 3D Laser Surveys, 3D Intelligent Modelling, 3D

Visualisations, animations & walkthroughs• BIM• Mechanical Design• Electrical Design• ICA and Software Design, with integration with SCADA• Chemical Dosing System Design• Pump Design and Hydraulic Analysis• Wet and Dry Process Systems Design• Plant and Process Conceptual / Feasibility studies• Energy and Efficiency Studies• Civil Engineering Design• Fabrication and Equipment Design• Bespoke machinery development and CE Marking

• Building and structural survey• Overseas projects• Building Services• DNO power supply upgrades• REB Upgrades

m e i c ai n s ta l l at i o n , t e s t i n g & c o m m i s s i o n i n g

OSL have a team that can install/manage installation and test the work designed by our designers either in-house design or external design.OSL are able to access, undertake isolations and work on HV Substations, with our own Senior and Authorised Persons.Our own SCADA team can develop and commission simple to complex systems with integrated data capture to assist in improving OPEX for a plant.

r e l e va n t e x p e r i e n c e

Our team has experience of and have worked on the following projects for OSL, individually each have between 10 and 30 years’ experience in utilities:

• St Helena Water Resource Improvements – review of existing water resource on this remote South Atlantic island, providing a proposal for MEICA works to improve the water quality and availability, MEICA detailed design, tendering and construction/commissioning support.

• Severn Trent Duplication Project – testing and commissioning of a water duplication scheme for secure water supply, including; pumping, instrumentation and chemical dosing.

• Aqaba, Jordan Development Project – condition survey of water and waste water infrastructure and development report for expansion.

• Fast Flow – Water trunk main cleaning system R&D for Northumbrian Water.

• Hong Kong Sludge Treatment, New Territories – Development of the Process Control Philosophy and Management of the implementation.

• Draperstown WwTW, NI – Works upgrade process design and supporting outline design.

• Saintfield WwTW, NI – Works upgrade process design and supporting outline design.

• Omega WwTW PPP, NI – MEICA Management, design construction and commissioning of seven treatment works and one sludge incinerator.

• Shell Green – Stream 3, UU – Project Management, design management for 3rd stream incinerator, balance of plant, liquor treatment and sludge dewatering.
