Contributing Strategic Insight for Accelerated
Program Delivery
Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (NYSE:JEC) announced today it is
part of a consortium that was awarded a ten-year framework
agreement to provide decommissioning delivery services in the First
Generation Magnox Storage Pond facility at Sellafield Ltd in the
United Kingdom.
The consortium, consisting of Jacobs, EnergySolutions and
Westinghouse Electric Company, was confirmed as Sellafield’s
delivery partner in Lot 2 of the decommissioning delivery
partnership (DDP). The 10-year framework enables the consortium to
work collaboratively with Sellafield Ltd to provide a strategic
approach to project and program planning and delivery. It also
allows the supply chain to help shape work packages that bring
better value and drive accelerated delivery.
Working as part of an integrated team with Sellafield Ltd, the
consortium is expected to be a key contributor in providing a step
change in the planning and delivery of nuclear decommissioning in
high-hazard environments: moving activities from an operational to
a decommissioning mind set. Jacobs and its consortium partners are
providing nuclear decommissioning technical expertise to accelerate
package delivery; client project management; and design and field
service execution services for projects in potentially high-hazard
environments. The team is also providing accelerated development of
technology application and collaborative working with Sellafield
Ltd.
Jacobs Vice President, U.K. Nuclear and Defense Alan Seywright
said, “We are delighted to be appointed to this complex program of
work. We’re focused on working collaboratively to deliver greater
innovation and the achievement of best value. Extending that
collaboration to include our supply chain is a further important
factor in delivering our innovative approach. We look forward to
this new challenge and continuing to help grow sustainable supplier
capability and capacity.”
Sellafield Ltd Chief Decommissioning Officer Tom Foster said,
"The decommissioning delivery partnership is going to be a
crucial part of our mission to reduce the risk on the Sellafield
site by getting waste out of high-hazard facilities as soon as
possible.
"Work on the First Generation Magnox Storage Pond is a key part
of this mission, and we look forward to working with Jacobs through
the Decommissioning Alliance over the next decade to ensure this
work delivers benefits not only on the site, but also in the wider
community. Everyone in the framework is committed to achieving the
best possible socio-economic outcomes in areas such as building
skills for young people and ensuring small- to medium-sized
enterprises also benefit from this major investment in
decommissioning the site."
The contract has a base period of five years, plus a further
five-year option period.
Jacobs plays leading construction and operations roles in many
unique and complex capital projects globally, including strategic
nuclear and defense programs.
