Celebrating a major milestone for the Ellison Institute of Technology Oxford, Laing O’Rourke and EIT have signed the main contract for delivery of this new world class research and development facility in Oxford.

The state-of-the-art facility will bring together scientists, technologists, policy makers, economists and entrepreneurs to bring scientific discovery to real-world solutions.

Sizewell C is forming an alliance with three leading construction companies who will deliver the main civil works at the new power station in Suffolk.

A Programme Alliance Agreement has been signed between Sizewell C, Laing O’Rourke Balfour Beatty, and Bouygues Travaux Publics who together form the Civil Works Alliance.

The CWA brings the construction companies together with Sizewell C into a single delivery organisation. It will employ between 3,000-4,000 workers over the 8-year civils programme.

The Alliance will deliver extensive areas of the project, including:

Aker Solutions has signed a significant[1] contract with Dragados Offshore to deliver the steel substructure for the 2GW HVDC converter station for the BalWin2 offshore wind grid connection system in Germany, developed by Amprion Offshore GmbH.

Reference is made to the stock exchange release published on February 10, 2025. With this contract award, Dragados has exercised the option for the second HVDC converter station for the BalWin development in Germany.

The pioneering floating offshore windfarm Green Volt, based off the Northeast coast of Scotland, has awarded front-end engineering and design (FEED) Phase 1 contracts to two sets of leading engineering companies:

Balfour Beatty VINCI have successfully slid the first part of a major 320-metre-long viaduct into position that will carry high speed trains across the M6 near Birmingham Airport.

The first stage of the project – delivered this weekend – saw the ‘East Deck’ of the M6 South viaduct slid 119m out over a slip road adjacent to the motorway.

To reduce disruption for motorists, the viaduct deck is being assembled to one side and slid across the motorway over three weekends, with each part pushed out before later sections are added behind them.

Graduate engineers at Sellafield Ltd have won a prestigious award at the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) Young Engineers Awards.

Thanks to the Site Ion Exchange Plant at Sellafield, we can remove the majority of radioactive isotopes from water used in our nuclear operations, ensuring that any water we discharge into the sea is safe and well within permitted discharge limits.

What is the Site Ion Exchange Plant (SIXEP)?
SIXEP filters and removes radioactive isotopes – such as Caesium and Strontium – from water that’s been used in nuclear operations across the Sellafield site so that those isotopes aren’t discharged into the sea.

Balfour Beatty, the international infrastructure group, today announces that it has been awarded an £833 million contract by Technip Energies to act as the construction partner for Net Zero Teesside Power – an Onshore Power, Capture and Compression project and poised to be the world’s first gas-fired power station with carbon capture and storage. 

A bold and ground-breaking call to harness the untapped potential of nuclear power to tackle our global climate and energy crises, from a leading chemist Tim Gregory at the National Nuclear Laboratory

What if climate change isn't an environmental challenge, but an energy challenge?

In this visionary book, Dr Tim Gregory urges us to rethink the path to net zero. He argues that the solution to climate change lies not simply in replacing fossil fuels with renewables, but in fully embracing another energy source that emits zero carbon dioxide: nuclear power.

The Norwegian Nuclear Commission has selected Amentum (NYSE: AMTM) and Multiconsult Norge AS to report on technology options for a potential nuclear power program.

Ten thousand jobs will be created as the government announces a £14.2 billion investment to build Sizewell C nuclear plant as part of the Spending Review, ending years of delay and uncertainty.

The Chancellor is set to confirm the funding at the GMB Congress later today ahead of the government’s Spending Review, as the Energy Secretary vows a ‘golden age’ of nuclear to boost the UK’s energy security.

The government’s investment will go towards creating 10,000 jobs, including 1,500 apprenticeships, and support thousands more jobs across the UK.

Amentum (NYSE: AMTM), a global leader in advanced engineering and innovative technology solutions, today announced the appointment of Helen Simms as vice president for international technology and innovation.

She will leverage her experience in innovative solutions, project delivery and strategy to grow Amentum’s offerings to the energy, environment, defence, space, and large international science and research project markets.
