Wood gains Dounreay framework agreement

Aberdeen-based Wood Group has secured a new framework agreement for the nuclear decommissioning site at Dounreay in the north of Scotland.

Effective immediately, the two-year contract includes two, one-year extension options and covers the delivery of electrical installation, control and instrumentation, testing, commissioning and maintenance support. Financial terms were not disclosed.

The new agreement builds on Wood’s existing presence at Dounreay. Since 2015, it has worked on the design and construction of a new effluent treatment plant, provided the design, safety case and environmental assessment of a new waste store and a wide range of support under a professional services framework agreement.

Wood boss Robin Watson said the firm would leverage its industrial services capability to provide support at “one of the most complex nuclear closure sites in Europe”.
