The works comprised coating of internal gutters constructed between building bays, using Sika Liquid Plastics products with an approximate total area of 3200m².   Working as principal contractor, the value of the works was £440k with phases of the works carried out between May 2014 and April 2015.

Capenhurst Nuclear Services Ltd (CNS) is a centre of excellence for the Management of Uranic Materials, Decommissioning and Recycling, and is a tenant on the URENCO UK Ltd‘s Nuclear Licensed Site at Capenhurst in Cheshire.

Extensive background checks were carried out on our operatives due to the high security nature of the site and they were required to wear dosimetry tags to monitor the level of radiation they were experiencing whilst carrying out the works.

Access to the roof area was provided by staircase scaffold tower and scissor lift, with operators IPAF certified.
