Energy and Decommissioning

We have had a significant role in each stage of the development of civil nuclear power installations in the UK and continue our involvement by undertaking the ongoing technical surveillance and maintenance work on existing reactors for British Energy. We also undertake research and development (in partnership with our Technology division) leading to the solution of technically demanding operational challenges.

We are now also undertaking significant decommissioning works that are under the control of the NDA. A current project is the Silos Direct Encapsulation Plant at Sellafield. This facility will grout, encapsulate and package waste for future long term safe storage. For this project, we are managing the design, process, mechanical handling and CE&I, as well as undertaking the construction, plant installation and commissioning.

Our expertise in the energy sector includes high quality slip forming of very large concrete tanks associated with the containment of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and off-shore structures for the oil and gas industry.

We also undertake the construction of conventional power stations, utilising mainstream hydrocarbons or biomass fuels.
