The company has performed high-consequence D&D and infrastructure support work at these project sites since October 2010.

Work to be conducted under the deal includes the complete demolition of inactive facilities and the removal of complex systems in operating nuclear facilities, which is expected to facilitate the installation of new systems without compromising the sites’ ongoing operations.

The current contract extension is slated to take effect from 1 October.
