In plain English
A joint venture between Altrad and AtkinsRealis is hiring a contractor to demolish the B55 Office Complex and B55.2 Turbine Hall at Sellafield's WAGR site, taking them down to ground-floor slab level. The work includes asbestos removal, sorting and processing the rubble, backfilling voids and clearing the site, while keeping a live electrical substation (Substation 65) running and protected throughout.
What the buyer wants
• Controlled demolition and dismantling of the B55 and B55.2 buildings, including high-reach mechanical demolition of frames, cladding and reinforced concrete floors • Asbestos remediation, segregation and processing of demolition waste, backfilling of voids and final site clearance • Protecting Substation 65 and retained basements from dust, impacts and water ingress, using surveys and demolition engineering to manage uncertainty about ageing structures and buried services
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
The £2.5m to £5m value, the requirement to demolish within a live nuclear-licensed site with a live substation, and the asbestos and high-hazard scope mean most small businesses would be ruled out by the scale of resources, specialist capability and site access needed.
How to bid
This looks like a call-off from an existing framework, which usually means only suppliers already on that framework can bid. Check the notice before spending time on it.
