Publish Date : 27-Sep-2011
Jacobs Engineering Group, AMEC, Costain and Babcock\'s joint venture ACTUS has been awarded a contract worth up to $109 million (GBP67 million) over four years, by Magnox Limited at the Trawsfynydd nuclear power station in North Wales, United Kingdom.
The work, awarded to the ACTUS joint venture as part of an intermediate level waste (ILW) framework contract, involves decommissioning across three waste streams; solid wastes, wet wastes and FEDER (fuel element debris enhanced retrievals).
ACTUS stated that its team will work along with Magnox for the completion of the remaining work-scope in the next four years to take Trawsfynydd to a Care & Maintenance state.
Jacobs Executive Vice President Gary Mandel stated, \"We see these new work packages as a great opportunity to continue our collaborative working relationship with Magnox, to strive for world class performance by effectively leveraging our collective skills, experience and best practices.\"
Clive White, Vice President of AMEC\'s Nuclear Business, said, \"This is a significant milestone and cements the JV at the forefront of one of the key areas of focus for Magnox in the UK decommissioning program. I am confident that the skill and expertise of the ACTUS members will deliver a world class service for a very important customer.\"
Darren James, Costain Managing Director, Infrastructure Division, said, \"This is just the start of the next series of challenges similar to those the team has already successfully navigated at Trawsfynydd. ACTUS understands the bar is now raised even higher and there will be no complacency in the pursuit of the client\'s goals our work will help achieve.\"
