Hertel, the Preston Brook-based multi-disciplinary construction and maintenance services company, has retained a contract to provide access and insulation services within the nuclear industry.

Magnox Ltd, responsible for managing 10 of the UK’s first generation of nuclear power stations, has named Hertel to provide access requirements, including scaffolding rope access, asbestos removal, insulation maintenance and mechanical in a four-year framework contract, which can be extended to six.

Hertel has worked with Magnox since 2005 and will provide these services at  Hunterston A, Berkeley,  Bradwell, Chapelcross, Dungeness A, Hinkley Point A and Trawsfynydd sites, which are currently being decommissioned; Oldbury and Sizewell A currently being defueled; and  Wylfa the only remaining Magnox site generating.

 Paudie Somers, Hertel UK & Ireland Operations Director, says: “This is a significant achievement for Hertel.  An important part of our work with Magnox is our ability to work collaboratively with other contractors on site, which enables us to provide an efficient and effective service.”

David Fitzsimons, Hertel UK & Ireland Managing Director, adds: “As the third major nuclear framework contract we have won in the last year, with the deplanting demolition and asbestos framework win at Magnox last year and the MDSW framework at Sellafield this year, the new contract reinforces our position as a leading provider of access and insulation services to the UK nuclear industry.”

 

Steven Lock, Magnox Project Support Services Category Manager, comments: “The Access and Insulation Framework provides a sustainable solution to all of the Magnox sites and is key in supporting the safe delivery of our work programme – ranging from generation right through the various stages of decommissioning as we approach Care and Maintenance.”     

 

Hertel specialises in working at oil refineries, chemical plants, power stations and nuclear facilities. The company employs 2,500 nationally, of which more than 500 are in the North West working at sites such as Sellafield and the Stanlow Oil Refinery
