For decades AMEC has provided independent support to operators facing ever-increasing challenges to ensure their plants operate safely and as efficiently as possible. We understand operational issues and their impact on plant performance and assist customers to maximise the performance of their operating stations.
We played a significant role as principal designer and constructor of the first and second generation UK civil nuclear power plants and today provide essential safety consultancy and operational engineering support to nuclear power plants in the UK, Canada and internationally. We possess much of the design knowledge due to our involvement in the design and technical input for almost all the current and past reactors.

Life extension
AMEC provides technical and engineering solutions to extend the life of ageing nuclear power plants. Extending any complex nuclear asset operations beyond its original design life takes a deep understanding of nuclear engineering and the systems within these assets.
Performance improvement
AMEC reviews and assesses plant operations and provides a solution to improve output and increase efficiency. As part of Nuclear Management Partners, the consortium which owns and operates Sellafield Limited on behalf of the Nuclear decommissioning Authority. AMEC is helping lead an extensive change and delivery programme at Sellafield as part of a planned 17 year contract.
Outage support
Over the past five years we have provided support to over 35 outages in 17 reactor units in Canada alone. We continue to support unit outages by providing high quality assessments that are effective in securing unit restart approvals to the required outage schedule.
