SYSTEMS ∙ ENGINEERING ∙ TECHNOLOGY
With over three decades of experience in the nuclear sector we successfully help our clients meet strict nuclear industry regulatory requirements. We work extensively across UK civil nuclear operations and support nuclear elements of UK Defence infrastructure, and equipment, with environmental management.
Within the Nuclear New Build sector our environmental and sustainability assurance team has provided support to nearly all Nuclear New Build Sites across the UK with the only exceptions being Sizewell C & Bradwell B. From this support we have gained substantial experience of design, operational and decommissioning procedures.
Sustainability & Environmental Assurance Group
Our sustainability & environmental assurance group specialises in managing environmental compliance, and strategic decarbonisation for complex projects. We help understand their carbon baseline, develop decarbonisation strategies and better understand the risks & liabilities likely to arise as a result of a changing climate. To do this we analyse, develop, assure and provide robust evidence and arguments to satisfy regulatory requirements and engineering challenges. Clients rely on us to assure that their projects meet all safety critical and environmental regulations throughout nuclear facility planning, development, regulatory approval, deployment, operations, decommissioning, clean-up and storage.
We have experience helping clients through the design, operational and decommissioning stages of nuclear facilities and projects with our key services outlined below:
