RBG, the leading provider of fabric maintenance and construction support to the global energy industry, has secured a multi-million pound contract to provide a range of third party vendor inspection and quality related services to a number of nuclear facilities.

The three-year contract, awarded by Magnox, Springfields, Sellafield, INS, NNL, LLWR, DSRL and RSRL, has a one-year extension option and is worth approximately £8.8m.

RBG  who was formed in 2005 through the merger of Mach-ten, MacGregor Energy Services and Rigblast Group, will provide qualified discipline engineers, auditors and inspection personnel to ensure all decommissioned and new build works are carried out in accordance with the required standards and specifications. The RBG team will carry out both on and offsite duties at various supplier sites worldwide. The contract will see RBG’s involvement from the initial design review of equipment through to final acceptance and installation.

RBG was awarded the contract based on its experience and its ability to adapt and customise service delivery, whilst taking into account the very specific requirements of the nuclear industry. RBG’s approach included a solid transition plan which detailed all potential risks and corresponding mitigations.

Commenting on the contract, Doug Bolton, RBG’s Quality Services Manager said: “This contract award is a fantastic achievement and testament to the hard work and commitment of all those involved. RBG has many years of experience in the nuclear industry but we also utilise and adapt skill sets developed in other sectors, adding significant value and flexibility to our proposition.”

RBG has been involved in the nuclear industry for over 10 years, during which time it has achieved an unprecedented safety record with an estimated 100,000 man hours incident free. As well as providing inspection personnel for both on- and offsite works, RBG has also provided the nuclear industry with non destructive testing services.
