The expertise and skills within both Shepley Engineers and VHE can be applied to this highly specialised sector. Shepley provides mechanical construction, dismantling and decommissioning services to the nuclear power and processing industries. The work involves high integrity fabrications and assemblies in carbon, stainless steels and exotic materials in toxic or environmentally sensitive areas. Shepley Engineers have been retained for many years in both Sellafield and at BNFL's Springfields works, as well as completing projects at other nuclear installations including UKAEA's Harwell site. Responsibilities have ranged from design and build construction, care and maintenance work through to major decommissioning projects.
