| ACTUS JV awarded contract at Trawsfynydd Nuclear Site A joint venture of Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (NYSE: JEC), AMEC, Costain and Babcock announced that it 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). The groundbreaking approach within the nuclear decommissioning industry has set exemplary standards for decommissioning nuclear facilities. It has been assessed by 'Constructing Excellence' as a model of multi-partnership working within the nuclear sector. The ACTUS joint venture, involving Jacobs, Babcock, AMEC and Costain, is a new alliancing arrangement which replaces the existing Trawsfynydd strategic integrated framework (TSIF) team, originally formed in 2005. write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Construction News :: home page |
