Graham has secured a four-year extension to its Engineering, Design and Construction Framework contract with LLW Repository Ltd.

The company was originally awarded the two-phase four-year deal in 2014.

Both Graham and LLW have formed a single team to work on a series of major programmes and improvements, including Security Enhancement, Repository Development and Site Infrastructure improvements.

LLW Repository is a waste management company that manages the national Low Level Waste Repository in West Cumbria on behalf of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA).

Paul Pointon, LLWR's Head of Site, said: "The signing of this contract extension is a measure of the confidence we have in Graham Construction to continue to carry out extensive works on our site over the next two years.

"The single team approach is working well and producing results and I want to thank all involved for their efforts. We expect the relationship between the two organisations to flourish over the next two years, building on the experience gained in the past two years."

Stuart Robertson, from Graham, added: "We are delighted that the relationship with LLWR is going from strength-to-strength.

"There is much to achieve over the next two years, but working closely with LLWR I'm sure we will continue to produce results."
