Sellafield contract win
London,
16 August 2017 - OneAIM, a joint venture between Amec Foster
Wheeler and Interserve, has won a key framework contract to support
reprocessing plants and facilities at the Sellafield nuclear site
in Cumbria.
Operations
Site Works, which is worth up to £160 million over four years,
covers engineering support services for asset care and
maintenance.
OneAIM's
participation in the full project lifecycle is designed to produce
greater cost-efficiencies for Sellafield Limited, the company
responsible for reprocessing, decommissioning and nuclear waste
management.
Each of
the OneAIM partners has extensive experience in the nuclear sector.
Amec Foster Wheeler's existing work at Sellafield
includes:
■ Lot 3
of the Decommissioning Delivery Partnership, a 10-year, £125
million framework to support accelerated clean-up of the
site;
■
Membership of the Axiom alliance, which supplies design,
engineering, and safety case assessment services for projects and
tasks supporting accelerated hazard reduction;
■
Delivery, as part of a joint venture, of the Box Encapsulation
Plant, a £600 million project to tackle one of the site's most
hazardous legacy facilities;
■ A
10-year contract for laboratory-based analysis and characterisation
of waste.
Interserve
has worked with Sellafield for 17 years, supporting it during major
projects such as the opening of the new Evaporator D facility - a
significant expansion to the capacity for processing nuclear waste
material on the 6km² site.
Clive
White, President of Amec Foster Wheeler Clean Energy,
said:
"Winning
the Operations Site Works framework reflects our strategy to extend
the range of services we provide to Sellafield
Limited.
"We
welcome the opportunity of taking a greater role in the full
project lifecycle, focusing on delivering safe, efficient and
predictable outcomes and supporting Sellafield Limited in its cost
efficiency objectives, while also having a positive social impact
on communities, skills and growth in Cumbria.
"The
combination of Amec Foster Wheeler and Interserve creates a highly
capable vehicle that will work to bring international best practice
and value-driven solutions to the Sellafield mission."
Guy
Bruce, Managing Director
- infrastructure and
industrial, at Interserve,
said:
"Having
worked in the nuclear sector for more than 65 years, we're
extremely well equipped to deal with the challenges that operating
in such an environment presents. Our team of experts carry out
their day-to-day responsibilities with the level of precision and
care required at a reprocessing plant, using their skills and
knowledge to manage customer projects in a safe and efficient
way.
"The
nature of work at Sellafield also requires flexibility to scale up
activity to deliver complex multidisciplinary projects. Our
longstanding relationship with Sellafield has given us an in-depth
understanding of its unique needs, allowing us to work with our
partners Amec Foster Wheeler to tailor the service we
provide."
