Nuclear

Over the last fifty years the world has become increasingly aware of a need to move away from the use of fossil fuels. It is expected that over the coming years the UK will see a rise in the number of private sector companies looking to invest in nuclear new build and decommissioning.

• £40bn of investment in new nuclear plant by 2025 = progressive growth in nuclear engineering manufacture & construction activity on a scale not seen since the 1970s
• Nuclear industry needs to expand its supply chain base = major opportunities for UK companies who are commercially competitive & meet the required standards including SMEs
• Significant orders expected from 2012/13 onwards
• Wide spectrum of services are needed ranging from provision of mechanical and electrical equipment to civil materials (structural steel & concrete etc)
• Initial contracts – Construction equipment, Trailers, Temporary offices & Storage facilities
• The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority forecast that the cost of clean up of the UK civil public sector nuclear sites will be circa £60bn over decades.The NDA has also planned expenditure in 2010/2011 of circa. £2.7 billion - the big nuclear clean up is providing many companies with good opportunities
