Plant hire firm Speedy has secured a three-year agreement with the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority to supply lifting consumables the nuclear processing plants, including Sellafield, Magnox and Dounreay.

Speedy scoops nuclear plant and equipment dealThe agreement, estimated to be worth in excess of £2 million over the term, covers the supply all lifting equipment necessary to undertake maintenance at the sites.


Martin Rusher, operations director, Speedy Engineering Services, says that Speedy will also be providing on-site support for employees, in addition to testing, inspecting and repair work on lifting equipment on site.

"The very nature of nuclear decommissioning works, such as those at Sellafield, often requires very sensitive lifting operations in which there is little margin for error," comment Rusher.

"Each lifting task requires both careful logistical planning and the use of reliable, specialist equipment. It's also vital that operatives are fully trained in how to use each piece of kit to help complete work effectively and efficiently," he explains.
