Under the contract, Keltbray will deliver a development platform in preparation for the follow-on construction of Sellafield’s Lightly Shielded Store 1 (LSS1).

LSS1 is a PPP-led project within the Intermediate Level Waste East Zone.

Additionally, Keltbray will provide a new access road and drainage system to the LSS1 site, as well as temporary utility supplies to the LSS1 construction plot and the adjacent temporary accommodation plot.

Keltbray operations director David Sloyan said: “Through this early engagement, we have been able to consistently prove we can provide working solutions to nuclear industry challenges across the UK, and we will again showcase the capabilities of our fantastic team through this contract with PPP for Sellafield Limited.”
