SNC-Lavalin awarded advisory and engineering services contract for ADNOC offshore operations power project

by with No Comment News

SNC-Lavalin, a fully integrated professional services and project management company with offices around the world, has been awarded a four-year advisory and engineering services contract by Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) to support its offshore operations power project. A first-of-its-kind high-voltage, direct current (HVDC-VSC) subsea transmission system in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, the project will power ADNOC’s offshore production operations with cleaner and more efficient energy.

“Our work with ADNOC on this significant project will support the UAE Net Zero by 2050 Strategic Initiative and reinforces our commitment to work with our global clients on their net zero journeys,” said Ian L. Edwards, President and CEO, SNC-Lavalin. “Through our world-class engineering services and HVDC expertise, we will ensure the project is delivered to the highest quality, safety, and environmental standards to drive more efficiency and green impact.”

The project, which is in partnership with Abu Dhabi National Energy Company PJSC (TAQA), is expected to reduce the carbon footprint of ADNOC’s offshore operations by more than 30%, replacing existing offshore gas turbine generators with more sustainable power sources available on the Abu Dhabi onshore power network. This will be achieved by developing two subsea HVDC-VSC links from onshore Alternating Current (AC) power substations to artificial islands. SNC-Lavalin’s scope of work includes the design review of the converter stations, the submarine cables, integration with the onshore and offshore grid, as well as reviewing the implementation plans for HSE, Quality Control (QC) and Quality Assurance (QA) of contractors. In addition, SNC-Lavalin will provide supervision throughout the construction and commissioning phases. The project will be supported by the company’s global HVDC Center of Excellence in Canada, and its regional expertise based in the Middle East.

“SNC-Lavalin’s Canadian HVDC Centre of Excellence (CoE) has been active in the field for half a century,” said Dale Clarke, CEO, Engineering Services, Canada at SNC-Lavalin. “This CoE has delivered close to 50 landmark projects across five continents and adapts each project to its unique environments.”  

SNC-Lavalin has a proven track record in delivering some of the most complex and challenging HVDC systems worldwide. The company’s global team of expertise work with clients across the entire asset life cycle, ensuring – from development and design to project development and commissioning, to rehabilitation and end-of-life management –the utmost benefits of clean, effective and cost-effective power are realized.

SNC-Lavalin is pleased to announce that its Atkins Nuclear Secured Holdings Corporation, in a joint venture (JV) partnership with Westinghouse Government Services and Fluor Federal Services, has been awarded a 14-month extension to continue operating the depleted uranium hexafluoride (DUF6) conversion facilities at the United States Department of Energy’s (DOE) Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Kentucky and the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Ohio.

“The nuclear space is one of SNC-Lavalin’s core businesses. We see this is an opportunity in the U.S. to drive growth within the sector by expanding our market position in nuclear waste management.” said Ian L. Edwards, President and CEO of SNC-Lavalin.

The Atkins-led JV will continue services to support the DUF6 Project, valued at $153.5 million USD, which processes the US DOE inventory of depleted uranium hexafluoride to uranium oxides for disposition. The partners will manage and operate the two uranium conversion facilities and manage the DUF6 inventory of over 60,000 cylinders (hazard category 3 and 2 designation, respectively). The project processes the DUF6 inventory via established uranium conversion technologies to the oxide form.

“The nuclear chemical production operations involved at these plants transforms this waste into a merchant chemical product and build upon the skills of our member companies,” said Tom Jouvanis, President, Atkins Nuclear Secured.

“Regardless of where our clients are in their journey or how complex the challenges, we provide end-to-end project solutions, using a collaborative approach to ensure a seamless and timely delivery,” said Sandy Taylor, President, Nuclear, SNC-Lavalin. “Our team is committed to continuing to manage and operate the conversion facilities with a rigorous and disciplined approach to safety and improvement.”

Atkins Nuclear Secured Holdings Corporation is a business unit within SNC-Lavalin’s global nuclear sector focused on the US federal market. With strengths in nuclear operations, process design engineering, waste management, characterization, transportation, disposition and high-level waste technologies, Nuclear Secured is a partner in the team managing the Tank Operations contract and the Central Plateau Cleanup Company at Hanford, leads the teams managing the Canadian Nuclear Laboratories in Ontario, and manages the U-233 project in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Atkins Nuclear Secured, safely delivers high consequence, technically complex missions for federal governments.

SNC-Lavalin wins pre-project engineering services contract for potential CANDU new build in Romania

by with No Comment News

Candu Energy Inc., a member of the SNC-Lavalin Group , has won a 12-month, $8.4 million contract from Romanian firm, EnergoNuclear S.A., to provide engineering services during the preparatory stage of a precursor project to complete CANDU Units 3 & 4 in Romania.  

‘’The potential to develop two new build nuclear reactors demonstrates that the Romanian government, along with several other of our public sector clients around the world, recognize that safe, reliable, affordable, low-carbon nuclear energy is how we will combat and ultimately, win the battle against climate change,’’ said Ian L. Edwards, President and CEO of SNC-Lavalin. 

This contract follows the signing of an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) between Romania and the United States in 2020, as well as a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in August 2021 between Romania and Canada to strengthen and further develop the cooperation in nuclear energy civil projects and builds on the 55-year relationship between the two countries in developing nuclear projects.

“We are pleased to expand our relationship with Romania, Societatea Nationala Nuclearelectrica (SNN), EnergoNuclear S.A. and our US partners for this potential new build project. Romania is familiar with CANDU technology since its first two CANDU units came online in 1996 and 2007 and have been providing reliable power ever since,” said Sandy Taylor, President, Nuclear. “Expanding their nuclear footprint would help Romania meet its net zero carbon commitments.”
