Under the framework deal, Urenco is expected to award contracts to Costain over the next three years, at least.
Costain will lead and deliver a programme of Urenco’s infrastructure investment activities, including developing the design, procurement, construction and commissioning of works and upgrades at Capenhurst.
Urenco’s Capenhurst site provides uranium enrichment services to produce fuel for civil nuclear power stations in the UK and around the world. The site is undergoing a series of complex works to support the long-term resilience of the site, including establishing Europe’s first high assay low enriched uranium (HALEU) advanced fuels facility.
Sam White, managing director for natural resources at Costain, said: “Ensuring the supply of safe, low-carbon electricity is critical for creating a sustainable future. We’re bringing decades of experience in predictable, best-in-class delivery to help safeguard the UK’s energy security and support the transition to more sustainable energy generation.”
