SIXEP/FHP Roof Refurbishment Project

Constructed in the 1980s, Fuel Handling Plant (FHP) and Sion Exchange Plant (SIXEP) will need to remain operational until 2062 with final decommissioning planned to be completed in 2100.

FHP and SIXEP have both suffered from rainwater ingress resulting in damage to the plant/equipment.

As a short term fix, the project had previously patched the roof, however it is not an effective long term strategy to continue patching the roof from either a cost perspective or functional point of view due to the risk of plant shutdowns from water ingress into the facilities.

This Contract opportunity is for the refurbishment and the removal of the existing degraded roofing material and the design, removal and installation of new pre-determined KALZIP standing seam system and Sika Decothane Ultra 25 system roofing materials as clearly set out in the accompanying CS&A Technical Specification roofing materials and completion of the associated enabling works to provide a long-term solution to the water ingress issues for the FHP and SIXEP facilities.
