MONTREAL, Sept. 17, 2020 /CNW Telbec/ - SNC-Lavalin
announced today that the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) provided
Central Plateau Cleanup Company LLC (CPC Co) the Notice to Proceed
on the Central Plateau Cleanup Contract at the Hanford Site near
Richland, Washington. CPC Co is an
Amentum-led joint venture with Atkins Nuclear Secured, a member of
the SNC-Lavalin Group, and Fluor. The
indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract is valued
at USD $10 billion over 10 years.
This nuclear services contract is within SNCL Engineering Services,
the cornerstone of our strategy moving forward to greater growth
and support for our partner and customer.
The Central Plateau Cleanup Contract will achieve end state
closure of facilities, waste burial sites, and groundwater
remediation in the river corridor of the Hanford Reservation along
the Columbia River. The scope will also include decommissioning and
dismantlement of several legacy facilities on the Central Plateau
of the Hanford Reservation. CPC Co will manage waste disposition
activities for the on-site disposal facility as well as off-site
disposal operations.
"This contract demonstrates the strength of SNC-Lavalin's
expertise in developing and carrying out decontamination and
decommissioning plans of federal nuclear assets," said Sandy Taylor, President, Nuclear, SNC-Lavalin.
"We have a long history of working with the DOE to safely and
economically cleanup nuclear facilities and are proud to support
the DOE on achieving end state closure at the Hanford site."
The Central Plateau Cleanup Company brings the depth and breadth
of three leading nuclear industry companies – Amentum, Fluor and
Atkins – making it one of the largest and most experienced nuclear
end state delivery teams assembled in the U.S. Department of Energy
complex. With more than 100 years of combined nuclear experience,
including 63 years at Hanford, these companies have collectively
decommissioned 1,179 facilities and dispositioned more waste for
the U.S. cleanup program than any other company.
