Provision of Professional Engineering Services

UKAEA requires professional engineering services with specialism in cranes and other handling equipment designed for nuclear environments. The services will be used to support an established project team during the preparation of procurement documentation for a complex remote handling system. The system will be installed and operate in a hot cell within a scientific research facility under construction in Sweden, the European Spallation Source.

The remote handling system will perform a range of handling functions in a radiological environment and primarily comprises a lifting and hoisting system and a manipulator based primary remote handling system, both mounted to gantries running on a common set of rails

The scope of the professional services is to assist in concept design of the lifting and hoisting system, the primary remote handling system and the common rails. The output will be a set of requirements-based tender specifications for the detailed design, manufacture and installation of those items. Details are provided within the tender documentation attached to this notice
