Avingtrans plc (LON:AVG), which designs, manufactures and supplies critical components, modules, systems and associated services to the energy, medical and industrial sectors, has announced that Stainless Metalcraft (Metalcraft), part of the Group’s Energy and Medical division, has secured two national contracts that aim to make safe nuclear waste for long-term storage of the UK’s legacy of nuclear assets. Together, the contracts (one of which is a new contract and the other an extension to an existing contract) are valued at £14.5m and the additions boost Metalcraft’s forward order book to more than £75m over the next six years.
Metalcraft has been awarded the release of the next production phase of a contract to produce stainless steel waste containers that will be used to store intermediate level legacy waste. Additionally, Metalcraft has secured a contract from a new client to prepare concrete waste containers to support decommissioning of the now-retired fleet of UK nuclear power plants.
