GRAHAM secures £49.6 million framework success

A construction and civil engineering firm has secured a £49.6 million nuclear deal.

GRAHAM has been appointed by Nuclear Waste Services to carry out repairs and maintenance at the Low-Level Waste Repository, in Cumbria.

Officials say the four-year deal will see GRAHAM replace and upgrade apparatus, carry out demolition and remediation work and install new operational systems.

The work – delivered through the Integrated Site Works Framework – adds to GRAHAM’s appointment on the Southern Trench Cap Interim Membrane project, which involves placing a new protective layer over legacy disposal trenches.

Alastair Lewis, contracts director at GRAHAM, which works from bases across the UK, said: “Our appointment to the Integrated Site Works Framework represents our successful collaboration at the repository site. 

“Works will commence this month, and we are committed to providing high-quality solutions in future-proofing operations.” 

Mike Pigott, Nuclear Waste Services’ director of sites and operations, added: “This work will enhance and prolong the life of critical infrastructure at the repository site.

“We’re excited to move forward with partners who share our values and ambition.”
