We deliver consultancy and project and asset management services built upon our market leading expertise and unique intellectual property in nuclear engineering, decommissioning, waste management and radiological detection and measurement.
VT applies its breadth and depth of experience – acquired from 40 years of nuclear expertise and project delivery experience – to provide customers with innovative, performance-based services over a long term partner relationship.
Our services
Our business delivers market leading services in five core areas:
- Project Management: No two projects are the same. We utilise our experience to design and deliver the right solution to our customers across the nuclear life cycle, from new build through reactor services, to decommissioning and waste management.
- Asset Management: In a resource-constrained market our customers are looking to focus on their core business activities. We provide asset management expertise that guarantees availability of customer critical services and allows customers to concentrate their efforts on other business priorities.
- Waste Management Services: We provide complex decommissioning and waste management services around the world. We bring our technical expertise, rigorous project skills and innovative commercial focus to create project programmes that we deliver to time and budget.
- Radiological / Nuclear Security: Our combined defence and nuclear sector expertise uniquely positions us to deliver solutions to customers seeking to mitigate for nuclear risks. We offer world-class radiometric monitoring, detection and measurement technologies to support the international nuclear community, homeland security and military operations.
- Long-term Consulting: Our life-cycle experience across the nuclear and defence markets gives us a unique ability to provide high level Tier 1 consultancy services to customers making investments decision today to deliver tomorrow’s energy requirements. We help customers to plan upfront the most cost-effective end-of-life decommissioning and waste management strategies.
The services we provide are central to our customers’ ability to run their businesses. We invest up-front in understanding our customers’ business and work hard to ensure we meet expectations. This approach to delivering customer satisfaction and continuous improvement is at the heart of our business strategy.
World-class skills
We employ nearly 600 highly qualified nuclear engineers, scientists and technicians who have specialist experience gained on nuclear licensed sites in the UK, USA, Japan and Central and Eastern Europe.
Today we work with the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, British Energy, EDF, Japan Nuclear Fuels Ltd, Ministry of Defence, and government energy customers in Bulgaria, Lithuania, Armenia and Russia. Recent landmark projects include managing the five-year, £50 million clean-up programme of the B29 pond at Sellafield, decommissioning reactors at the Kozloduy nuclear power plant in Bulgaria and providing radiation screening services to the UK Government.
New thinking
Our customers trust VT to deliver complex projects on time and to budget and value our world class partnering expertise. Often a customer asset or service is transferred to us, and we guarantee to deliver to the customer’s requirements within strict parameters for cost and time and accept the associated risks.
We are bringing this thinking to the nuclear sector, where VT will provide customers with a new approach both to meeting expectations and in managing assets over the longer-term.
