Engineering and design consultant Atkins has generated layout plans for 170km of new water pipework in Nepal using its NetCreate digital tool.

Atkins did the work to support Anglian Water’s charitable contribution to WaterAid’s Beacon Project, which aims to provide clean water for the fast-growing town of Lahan – population 100,000 – in south-eastern Nepal.
