Amec Foster Wheeler secures key nuclear waste contracts worth £4 million

One contract is for environmental safety case services. AFW will supply sole hydrogeological and geological support and also function as one of four contracters supplying general technical support.

The second contract will involve analytical support services and environmental monitoring support from its laboratories. Both contracts run for four years and are worth £2 million each.

Andy White, vice president for decommissioning at Amec Foster Wheeler’s Clean Energy business, said: “The award of these frameworks reflects the high value placed on the technical expertise of our people. LLWR has been a valued customer for many years and our understanding of their business enables us to play an integral part in the cost-effective management of UK waste streams.

“These wins advance Amec Foster Wheeler’s strategy to expand our share of work on radiological and waste management programmes in Europe.”
