Power generation and nuclear decommissioning
We provide market-leading project management, design, construction, installation, testing and commissioning for power generation facilities ranging from nuclear power stations through to gas fired, oil, coal, wind and hydro-power assets.
We can deliver both single and multi-disciplinary projects and can self-deliver engineering and construction work packages through our directly employed, ground engineering and mechanical and electrical engineering skilled workforce. We have the flexibility to work at any level on project, e.g. tier 1, 2 or 3.
Nuclear new-build and nuclear decommissioning
We have over 60 years of experience in the nuclear industry working across the sector on new build, decommissioning, fuel cycle and defence projects. Our experience includes large scale civil engineering and delivery of EC&I systems during the last phase of nuclear new build in the UK as well as delivery of over 30 projects at Sellafield since 1979.
In 2016, our Engineering Construction team completed 11 years, without a RIDDOR* reportable injury at Sellafield. In recognition of this, alongside their fifth consecutive RoSPA President’s Award and fifteenth consecutive Gold Award, they received the prestigious Order of Distinction.
