Costain selected as delivery partner for Urenco at Capenhurst
Costain Group announced on Thursday that it has been selected as the programme delivery partner for Urenco’s infrastructure investment at its Capenhurst site in Cheshire.
The London-listed firm said the contract, expected to span at least three years, would see it lead and execute a series of upgrades to support Urenco’s operations.
It said the Capenhurst facility plays a key role in uranium enrichment for civil nuclear power, supplying fuel for low-carbon electricity generation in the UK and internationally.
The partnership with Costain was part of Urenco’s broader investment in modernising its infrastructure to enhance operational efficiency and support long-term growth.
Costain said it would oversee the integration and delivery of various infrastructure improvements, with contracts to be awarded under the framework over the programme’s duration.
“Costain has a long and successful track record in delivering critical national infrastructure that creates a sustainable future,” said chief executive officer Alex Vaughan.
“This new role is an example of our strategic focus on growth in strong markets and building a resilient customer mix.
“We will draw on our expertise to ensure predictable, best-in-class delivery for Urenco, as we create a more prosperous, resilient and decarbonised UK.”
At 0935 GMT, shares in Costain Group were up 0.47% at 106.5p.
