"The redevelopment of Newport Railway Station provides passengers with a bigger, bright and modern station fit for the 21st century. As principal consultant on the project, Atkins' contract covered two terminal buildings, accommodation blocks, connecting bridge and external works, with provision of civil and structural engineering, building services engineering, landscape architecture, rail, telecoms and pedestrian flow expertise.

A key priority for Atkins’ design team was minimising the building’s operational energy demands and carbon emissions. One of the key features in helping to achieve this is the featherweight plastic covering that surrounds the building. It is a hundred times lighter than glass and requires a fraction of the steel and concrete support of a normal structure. The cladding is recyclable, unaffected by ultra-violet light or atmospheric pollution and is self-cleaning." text Source; (visit link) & (visit link)
