Shepley Engineers were contacted by the National Nuclear Laboratory based on the Sellafield site to determine the viability of decontaminating a transport bowser which had been historically used for transporting radioactive liquors. The Bowser had a remnant heel of liquor which contained radioactive solid residues.
The scope of this project was to develop and optimise the use of Ultra-High Pressure (UHP) Water Jetting as a method to access and safely vent pipework associated with the HAST 11 cooling coils capping and venting programme at Sellafield. Following on from this development
Shepley Engineers were approached by BAE Systems to undertake a tranche of work to assess the viability of cleaning two sections of pipe work associated with the Astute class submarines vent system. Following initial contact, stakeholder meetings were held with the MoD and Vice Admiral
Shepley Engineers were appointed as Main Contractor on the Houses of Parliament, a Grade 1 listed building and World Heritage Site, for Phase 2 of the Cast Iron Roof Works that followed the successful completion of Phase 1 (also by Shepley) in 2009. The works
Manchester Town Hall opened in 1877, and is an internationally significant landmark. It’s Grade I listed and considered to be one of the masterpieces of Victorian architecture. It’s cherished by the people of the city who view it as the civic heart of Manchester. There
The ‘Magnox’ production facilities have all ceased operation, and the redundant fuel manufacturing and assembly facilities at Springfields are being progressively decommissioned and demolished. Shepley Engineers were required to prepare the plant into a safe and stable state for decommissioning works. This included carrying out
Shepley Engineers were part of the CNSL contract which saw the deployment of a floating pontoon at Sellafield, the pontoons provide greater space and flexibility for decommissioning tasks to be completed, which will save time and costs over conventional methods. The pontoons also provided the
The Pile Fuel Cladding Silo (PFCS) inside Sellafield is one of the most hazardous buildings in Western Europe, and the oldest legacy storage building on the site. It was commissioned in 1952 to safely store radioactive cladding, without emptying in mind. However there now comes
