AMEC has been awarded a £336million nuclear waste contract.
The engineering and project management firm will be working with joint venture partners Balfour Beatty and Jacobs Engineering Group to deliver the Sellafield’s Box Encapsulation Plant (BEP) project in West Cumbria.
BEP treats Magnox reactor waste currently stored at Sellafield by containing it in concrete.
Work on the four-year deal is expected to start immediately.
AMEC chief executive Samir Brikho said: “AMEC has successfully delivered complex projects at Sellafield for over 50 years, during which we have played a key role in the development and delivery of many of the major waste treatment plants on the site.
“The BEP project is another significant nuclear waste management initiative in the programme to reduce the historic waste issues on Europe’s most complex nuclear site.”
