Providing engineering services to the nuclear power generation sector is a complex and specialist job.  Not only does some of the work take place within radiologically controlled areas, but engineers have to be able to complete the work safely within tight deadlines.

Thanks to our skills and company-wide emphasis on safety and quality, REDS has emerged as the major provider to the British Energy nuclear power station fleet. 

We provide diving, rope access and confined space services, within radiologically controlled areas.

Carrying out both diving and above water projects, working with REDS offers tangible client benefits:

• Maximisation of plant availability through management, supervision and control of outages, shutdowns and work-overs.

• Innovative access products and ideas, that minimise down-time and operational restrictions.

• Specialist training, and development of safe systems of work, reduces the risk of personnel injury or plant damage.

Specific services undertaken by REDS have included:

• Diving and access engineering in radiologically controlled areas, including diving within fuel ponds.

• Offshore outfall and pipeline inspections

• Station seawater intake and forebay area diving and rope access work to carry out tasks including desilting, inspection, corrosion prevention, general maintenance and repair
  
  
• Rope access works including re-cladding, cleaning, inspection, repair
