Nuclear Engineering and Decommissioning

The expertise and skills within Shepley Engineers and VHE Construction can be applied to this highly specialised sector.

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.

VHE have undertaken major land reclamation projects involving the treatment of soils contaminated by radium and/or chemical wastes, necessitating excavation, waste minimisation and assay in controlled environments.
