Sellafield is a large multi-function nuclear power site located near Seascale on the coast of Cumbria, England.
Kier said that the PPP is a 20-year partnership, which was established by Sellafield Ltd through contracts with Kellogg Brown and Root (KBR), Jacobs, Morgan Sindall Infrastructure and Doosan Babcock last year.
The scope of work on the project will include the construction of the seismically designed reinforced concrete structure that will serve as an annex to an existing facility.
It will also include the formwork, reinforcement and concreting, along with the installation of lattice girder roof trusses.
