Renew Holdings, the specialist engineering and construction services group, has secured over £20m of new orders and in addition a further extension to its principal nuclear framework in its Specialist Engineering business.

In Nuclear, Renew has announced a further extension to the Multi Disciplined Site Wide (MDSW) framework at Sellafield up to March 2010, with the potential for a further year's extension. This framework covers production operations support, general infrastructure and decommissioning and is one of four frameworks which Shepley Engineers holds at Sellafield.


Shepley Engineers has also been awarded a £4.3m contract from Sellafield Ltd for the recladding of the Sellafield Receipt & Storage Building. This asset maintenance project, which includes the removal and replacement of cladding in addition to structural repairs and strengthening, is due to be completed by March 2012 and is outside of the framework arrangements.

In the Water sector, Seymour, the Group's Specialist Water business, has recently been awarded a further £5.5m of contracts under its framework with Northumbrian Water for both flood alleviation and combined sewer overflows. The largest schemes, valued at £2.1m and £1.1m, are located in Gateshead and Newcastle.
