Decommissioning programmes succeed when engineering decisions are grounded in hazard reduction, operability and integration with existing facilities. Actemium supports decommissioning teams with practical, delivery‑focused engineering that is designed to work first time – inside constrained, aging assets and alongside live operations.
Typical project scopes we deliver include:
- Waste retrievals, inspection and remote operations – Integration of inspection and monitoring systems to improve understanding of legacy wasteforms and reduce manual exposure during retrievals (including bespoke deployment methods and remote operation concepts).
- Size reduction, processing and containment – Mechanical and control design for size‑reduction and waste processing equipment, including containment strategies, interfaces to existing export routes, and operator training / trials rigs to de‑risk deployment.
- Facility and plant upgrades – Control system replacements and upgrades, power distribution modifications, lighting and building services changes, and integration of new equipment into facilities not originally designed for modern remote handling and processing methods.
- Assurance-driven engineering – Engineering substantiation, stress analysis and documentation to support safety case expectations and assurance scrutiny, with design intent that is transparent, traceable and auditable.
Actemium is equally effective as a prime delivery partner or as a specialist package contributor – augmenting Tier 1 and Tier 2 capability with high‑assurance engineering and build-ready deliverables that integrate cleanly with wider programmes.
