AECOM is a trusted provider of professional services to the nuclear energy sector, bringing over 50 years of experience in delivering complex infrastructure projects globally. We are excited about the future of nuclear energy and dedicated to leveraging our extensive capabilities and industry knowledge to drive impactful change and deliver a sustainable legacy.
Our technical resourcing, with over 50,000 people across the world, has both breadth and depth: allowing our core nuclear energy team to collaborate with specialists in environment, sustainability, design, program management, digital, transport, and buildings. This multidisciplinary approach, combined with community outreach, Indigenous consultation and lessons learned empowers us to deliver the vision, assemble the right talent, and apply technical expertise to achieve safe, secure, and reliable results.
As the lifespan of a nuclear energy facility lasts several decades, our comprehensive services support every phase of its lifecycle. Recognizing the unique demands of the sector, we provide a Nuclear Quality Assurance program that is a cornerstone of safe and efficient nuclear operations. It not only ensures compliance with regulatory requirements but also promotes a culture of safety and continuous improvement, ultimately safeguarding both the public and the environment. Using powerful, secure digital tools, we enhance our environmental assessments, consenting, stakeholder and community engagement, design, and construction processes, to improve outcomes and performance.
Our commitment to working closely with industry partners promotes the safe, efficient, and timely delivery of activities, making nuclear sites not just operational but compliant from start-up to decommissioning.
Nuclear energy new build, infrastructure and next generation facilities
With the global demand toward clean energy, there is an increasing focus on the nuclear sector. Canada’s Small Modular Reactor (SMR) Action Plan and the U.K. Government’s Civil Nuclear Roadmap to 2050 both highlight the sector’s forward momentum, focusing on the development, demonstration, and deployment of SMRs for domestic and international use.
We collaborate with our clients to provide integrated support for local communities, buildings, utilities, and infrastructure associated with complex nuclear energy sites and facilities. From masterplanning and consenting, we deliver new construction, maintenance and refurbishment of critical safety infrastructure while also supporting clients with their transportation, logistics and procurement strategies to achieve desired outcomes.
With a successful record across the nuclear energy estate, we have the right mix of qualified and experienced nuclear specialists to lead the delivery of infrastructure for the next generation of nuclear energy. This includes supporting the deployment of SMRs, Advanced Reactors (ARs), and the ground-breaking development and commercialisation of nuclear fusion.
Nuclear energy waste and decommissioning
Addressing the unique end-of-life challenges and opportunities within nuclear decommissioning projects demands a strategic and innovative approach. By partnering with industry peers, we harness collective strengths to deliver impactful projects and programs focused on legacy clean-up, decommissioning, and risk mitigation.
Our services encompass the design and delivery management of infrastructure solutions that facilitate timely and safe hazard reduction activities, as well as the demolition of complex legacy buildings and structures. We provide comprehensive project lifecycle support — from initial planning and feasibility studies to engineering, design and project management.
Our environmental experts offer a full suite of services, including remediation and radiological surveying, while collaborating closely with regulators and the public to uphold the highest safety and environmental standards.
