VT Group is a major provider of critical technical engineering services across the nuclear market both in the UK and internationally. We deliver consultancy and project and asset management services built upon unique intellectual property and key specializations in nuclear engineering, decommissioning, waste management and radiological detection and measurement.
Though VT Group brings specialized experience and expertise to the partnership, we always start by listening to our customers and understanding their problem. Only then can VT Group personnel apply their breadth and depth of experience – acquired from 40 years of nuclear expertise and complex project experience – to provide innovative, performance-based services over a long-term partner relationship. It is only a win if it is a win for all parties involved.
World-Class Skills
We employ close to 600 highly qualified nuclear engineers, scientists and technicians who have specialized experience gained on nuclear licensed sites in the U.S., UK, Japan and Central and Eastern Europe.
Today we work with the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, British Energy, EDF, Japan Nuclear Fuels Ltd, Ministry of Defense, and government energy customers in Bulgaria, Lithuania, Armenia and Russia. Recent landmark projects include managing the five-year, $80 million clean-up program of the B29 pond at Sellafield, decommissioning reactors at the Kozloduy nuclear power plant in Bulgaria and providing radiation screening services to the UK Government.
Our Services
VT Group delivers proven, market-leading services in five core areas:
- Project Management: No two projects are the same. We utilize our experience to design and deliver the right solution to our customers across the nuclear life cycle, from new build through reactor services, to decommissioning and waste management. Even after initial delivery, we never stop looking for ways to improve efficiency or effectiveness – it’s why we get up in the morning.
- Asset Management: When we give our word that an asset will be available, we keep it – no exceptions. In a resource-constrained market our customers are looking to focus on their core business activities. We provide asset management expertise that guarantees availability of a customer’s critical services and allows our customers to concentrate their efforts on other business priorities.
- Waste Management Services: In the whole world, just a handful of people are passionate about waste management. Most of them work for VT Group; the rest are our customers. We provide complex decommissioning and waste management services around the world. We bring our technical expertise, rigorous project skills and innovative commercial focus to create project programs that we deliver to time and budget.
- Radiological / Nuclear Security: Our combined defense and nuclear sector expertise uniquely positions us to deliver solutions to customers seeking to mitigate for nuclear risks. We offer world-class radiometric monitoring, detection and measurement technologies to support the international nuclear community, homeland security and military operations.
- Long-term Consulting: Our life-cycle experience across the nuclear and defense markets provides us with a unique position to provide high level Tier 1 consultancy services to customers making investments decision today to deliver tomorrow’s energy requirements. We help customers to plan upfront the most cost-effective end-of-life decommissioning and waste management strategies.
The services we provide are central to our customers’ ability to run their businesses. We invest up-front in understanding our customers’ business and work hard to ensure we meet expectations. This approach to delivering customer satisfaction and continuous improvement is at the heart of our business strategy.
A New Way of Thinking
Our customers trust VT to deliver complex projects on time and to budget and value our world class partnering expertise. Often a customer asset or service is transferred to us, and we guarantee to meet the customer’s requirements within strict parameters for cost and time and accept the associated risks.
We are applying new thinking to the nuclear sector, where VT will provide customers with an innovative approach both to meeting expectations and managing assets over the long term.
