Jacobs Engineering said Tuesday it has secured two framework deals worth a total of $32 million to provide a range of services for the contractor handling decommissioning of the former Dounreay fast-reactor site in Scotland.
The Dallas-based company said in a press release it was among six companies “eligible to tender” for both four-year agreements from Dounreay Site Restoration Ltd. Jacobs is partial owner of the consortium that owns the contractor.
One agreement covers $15 to $19 million worth of design and engineering services, including design, construction management, engineering, environmental remediation, and developing waste strategy documents. The other agreement covers $10 million to $13 million worth of safety case and peer review activities, including safety reporting and radiation and fire evaluations.
Further details about the work was not immediately available. Jacobs did not respond by deadline to requests for comment.
Dounreay Site Restoration Ltd. is owned by Cavendish Dounreay Partnership, a joint venture of Jacobs, AECOM, and Cavendish Nuclear. It is charged with decommissioning and site restoration of the property in Caithness County, which from 1955 to 1994 hosted research and development of nuclear energy technology. The facility is the largest nuclear cleanup job in Scotland.
