Wood wins $66 million Sellafield control systems framework
Wood has won a contract to supply programmable digital control
technologies to the Sellafield nuclear site in Cumbria, UK.
The 10-year framework, worth $66 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 Ltd.
The contract will help Sellafield Ltd and its wider supply chain
to deliver safe, sustainable and cost-effective solutions to 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 Ltd 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 Ltd with long-term supply
chain capability and capacity, implementing standardised solutions,
building innovation into design and delivery, managing
obsolescence, and reducing lifecycle costs."
