Atkins is providing project management, civil and geotechnical engineering, business case and risk consultancy, market research and demographic consultancy to develop a solution for air access to St Helena.

Atkins was the first consultant to devise a technically feasible airport solution that meets international safety standards. It requires a 1950m runway on the only relatively flat area of land on this tiny, mountainous and volcanic island situated in the Atlantic Ocean. This was supported by a wide-ranging study which produced integrated technical and economic arguments.
