The decommissioning of Magnox gas cooled nuclear reactors throughout the country is well under way, and Caunton are playing a part in this. The steelwork framing for two major interim storage facilities (ISF’s) has now been completed, one at Chapelcross and one at Hinkley. Caunton have designed, fabricated and erected 200te-plus steelwork for Chapelcross and 300te-plus steelwork for Hinkley. Caunton’s Secondary Steel Division supplied ancillary walkways, stairs, ladders to complement both the main structures. These highly-engineered industrial grade interim storage facilities offer protection for Intermediate Level Waste (ILW) containers until the geological disposal facility is available. Caunton have been working for Interserve, the international support services and construction group, who were appointed as the sole Tier 2 contractor to design and build these ISF’s. Caunton are delighted to be of service at such a vital stage of the nation’s energy developments.
