Vinci has struck a deal with Cammell Laird at Birkenhead to bid for heavy modules and components for the next generation of nuclear power stations.
Vinci’s Warrington based nuclear engineering subsidiary Nuvia provide engineering expertise and the shipbuilders the fabrication facilities and manpower.
A Cammel Laird spokesman said “We can offer experience in heavy fabrication, specialist engineering and project management together with unrivalled facilities including our 40,000 m2 modular construction hall, capable of fabricating modules and major components of up to 1,000 tonnes.”
With a track record as good as Vinci and CL the future must be bright for Birkenhead again.
Can anyone say if there is a skill deficit in the once prosperous yards?
