Sellafield Ltd, E&EP Asset Group
Morson Praxis were appointed by Sellafield Ltd’s E&EP Asset Group to deliver a comprehensive package of mechanical, control, electrical and instrumentation design services, providing essential engineering support across a range of complex plant operations.
Client Brief
Reliable Design Delivery for a Critical Asset Group
Sellafield Ltd required a trusted engineering partner to provide task-based design support as part of their Engineering Delivery Organisation (EDO), which manages both scheduled and breakdown maintenance for effluent and encapsulation plants on the Sellafield site.
The client’s goal was to streamline design coordination, ensure regulatory compliance, and maintain operational efficiency across critical assets.
Project Overview
Delivering Multi-Discipline Engineering Packages
Operating from Morson Praxis’ Greengarth and Manchester offices, our teams delivered end-to-end design packages for plant implementation — including drawings, calculations, specifications, method statements, CDM risk assessments, schedules, and Design Justification Reports (DJRs).
Each package was prepared to the client’s Plant Modification Proposal (PMP) submission requirements, ensuring consistency, traceability, and compliance with Sellafield’s stringent safety and engineering standards.
