ORCHID includes Nuvia, Orano Projects, WSP and National Nuclear Laboratories (NNL) and is supported by specialist suppliers including NIS, Optima Systems Consultancy and Risktek.

G&T is providing Cost Estimating services to ORCHID on Lot 2 for Engineering.

The framework is a four-year contract to deliver engineering design support to Radioactive Waste Management (RWM), a subsidiary of the UK Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, as they move forward in developing a repository for the disposal of High Activity Wastes (HAW) from the UK Nuclear Industry.  

"This is an excellent opportunity to play an important role in the design of this vital waste management facility"

Ian Wigginton

Head of Delivery for Nuvia Consulting and the contract manager

The framework comprises three lots:

  • Lot 1 – development and underpinning of functional and technical requirements for the life cycle management of HAW
  • Lot 2 – Engineering designs for the safe packaging, transport and disposal of radioactive waste
  • Lot 3 – HAW tasked-base support

Ian Wiggington, Head of Delivery for Nuvia Consulting and the contract manager said, “This is an excellent opportunity for NUVIA, and its partners within ORCHID, to play an important role in the design of this vital waste management facility to the UK Nuclear Industry during an important phase in its development.”

G&T’s track record in the Nuclear Industry began in the 1960s and projects have included new build facilities, decommissioning and demolition as well as waste storage.
