Amec’s latest deal will see it work with China on nuclear power projects, both there and in the UK.
The international engineering and project management firm said yesterday it had signed a memorandum of understanding with China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) to “co-operate across the civil nuclear sector”.
The agreement will see Amec and CNNC work together to “secure global opportunities” for new build, nuclear power plant operational support, lifetime extension/decommissioning and waste management work.
Clive White, president of Amec’s Clean Energy Europe business, said: “This is the first stage in what we hope will be a long-term relationship between British and Chinese companies in the field of nuclear energy.
“This agreement will strengthen the co-operation between Amec and CNNC across the nuclear sector.
“We will work together, for example, on new build programmes, both in the UK and internationally and also planning and strategy development for decommissioning nuclear power plants and other nuclear facilities in China.”
He added: “I am confident that our complementary skills and expertise will bring benefits for both parties and play a key role in the development of the nuclear industry in the UK, China and in international markets.”
Amec employs thousands of people in Aberdeen and the North Sea, where current big projects include work on BP’s £4.5billion Clair Ridge development west of Shetland.
