Decommissioning
The Complete Lifecycle Solution for Complex Facilities
When it’s time to safely retire complex industrial and nuclear facilities, the engineering challenges are anything but straightforward. Each decommissioning project presents a unique puzzle of technical, regulatory, and environmental considerations that demand both deep expertise and fresh thinking.

Our Decommissioning Expertise
Nuclear Decommissioning Excellence
With over three decades of combined experience across nuclear, industrial, and infrastructure decommissioning, we understand that every facility has its own story—and its own optimal end-state strategy.
Our nuclear decommissioning capability spans the entire lifecycle, from strategic planning through to final site release. We’re pre-approved members of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) Supply Chain, bringing proven expertise to the UK’s most complex nuclear challenges.
What sets us apart
Multi-discipline design approach
where structural, mechanical, electrical, and process engineering disciplines work seamlessly together to create comprehensive decommissioning strategies
Technical support throughout the complete lifecycle
from initial feasibility and characterisation through to final waste disposition and site restoration
Managed service delivery
providing skilled operatives experienced in defueling, dismantling, and decontamination operations
Advanced digital solutions
including Building Information Modelling (BIM) for enhanced lifecycle management, asset tracking, and decommissioning optimisation
Industrial & Infrastructure Decommissioning
We're the bridge between the intricate world of decommissioning engineering and practical, deliverable solutions that work in the real world.
Beyond nuclear, our expertise extends across petrochemical, manufacturing, power generation, and major infrastructure assets. We understand that industrial decommissioning isn’t just about taking things apart—it’s about managing complex interdependencies whilst maintaining safety and environmental compliance.
Core capabilities include:
Process systems integration
leveraging our expertise in SCADA, PLC control systems, and industrial automation to ensure safe shutdown sequences
Environmental management
with comprehensive contamination assessment, remediation planning, and waste characterisation
Structural engineering solutions
for safe dismantling of complex industrial structures and equipment
Regulatory compliance navigation
ensuring all activities meet stringent safety and environmental requirements
We begin every decommissioning project with thorough analysis and strategic planning. Our multidisciplinary teams assess technical feasibility, regulatory requirements, environmental implications, and cost optimisation to develop the most effective decommissioning strategy.
Our advanced digital capabilities transform traditional decommissioning approaches. Using cutting-edge BIM consultancy, digital capture techniques, and sophisticated modelling, we create detailed virtual representations that enable better planning, risk assessment, and execution monitoring.
From civil and structural engineering through to mechanical, electrical, and specialist systems, our integrated teams ensure all aspects of complex decommissioning projects are coordinated and delivered safely. We’re equally comfortable working on high-hazard nuclear facilities as we are on industrial process plants.
Every decommissioning project is an opportunity to restore and revitalise sites for future use. Our approach emphasises sustainable practices, environmental restoration, and creating positive legacy outcomes for communities and stakeholders.
