Wood wins Sellafield control systems framework
01/02/2019
Wood has won a contract to supply programmable digital control technologies to the Sellafield Ltd nuclear site in Cumbria, UK.
The ten-year framework, worth $66 million (approximately £51.1 million), covers all stages of system design, manufacture and assembly of equipment, obsolescence management and maintenance support to project work and decommissioning carried out by Sellafield.
The contract will help Sellafield and its wider supply chain to deliver safe, sustainable and cost-effective solutions for full lifecycle controls integration supply at the site.
It was secured by a joint approach from nuclear and automation and controls specialists within Wood, augmenting best-in-class experience from the automotive and oil & gas sectors with nuclear competence, stakeholder relations and site-specific knowledge.
Bob MacDonald, CEO of Wood Specialist Technical Solutions, said: “We are looking forward to working with Sellafield and demonstrating the strength and depth of controls integration expertise across the whole of Wood, bringing together our nuclear expertise with our automation and controls capability.
“Securing this important framework is proof of the rationale for acquiring Amec Foster Wheeler 12 months ago and a good revenue synergy. We could not have won this contract as separate businesses.
“Our aim is to provide Sellafield with long-term supply chain capability and capacity, implementing standardised solutions, building innovation into design and delivery, managing obsolescence and reducing lifecycle costs.”
