Developers and vendors use the practice to test options before they commit. Owners and operators use it to hold complex programmes together across engineering, construction and commissioning. The people leading this work have directed first-of-a-kind reactor and waste treatment programmes and supported new build from siting to commissioning.
Practice Services
Siting, Feasibility and Optioneering
Site selection and options appraisal
We identify and appraise sites, assess feasibility and compare options at the earliest stage of a project.
Delivery Model and Project Development
How the programme will be organised, contracted and governed
We develop delivery models, contract structures and supply chain plans from site selection to final investment decision, supported by design assurance and cost and schedule oversight.
Contract, Tender and Procurement Support
What is being bought, from whom and on what terms
We define contracts, prepare and evaluate tenders and develop procurement strategies for owners and for suppliers bidding into nuclear programmes.
Programme Leadership and Integration
Senior leadership of programmes already under way
We lead nuclear programmes and coordinate interfaces and dependencies across engineering, construction and commissioning, with controls that give boards a reliable view of progress.
Controls Oversight and Recovery
Independent controls review and recovery planning
We independently review programme controls and develop recovery plans for programmes facing delivery difficulties.
Commissioning and Transition to Operation
Delivery readiness and the handover into operation
We develop commissioning strategies, processes and governance, supporting the transition from first-of-a-kind activities to repeatable commissioning and operation.
Case study
Configuration Management for a Gen III+ Replication
A new build project needed configuration management arrangements to support replication of an existing design baseline. NCL assessed the configuration items, reviewed the arrangements independently against ISO 10007 and IAEA guidance and set the implementation strategy.
