LONDON (Alliance News) - Costain Group PLC Wednesday said it has been appointed as a contractor on the redevelopment of the BAE Systems PLC submarine site in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria.
The engineer didn't say how much the deal was worth to it, but the redevelopment is a GBP300 million or more project in total.
The programme involves the redevelopment of the Barrow site in preparation for the building of a replacement for the Vanguard class submarines, as part of the renewal of the UK's nuclear deterrent.
Costain said it will provide nuclear project delivery on operational sites and will deliver the integration of works into existing submarine build programmes. It said work will start in early 2015.
"We are looking forward to a long term and successful relationship with BAE Systems, a major new customer for us," Costain Chief Executive Andrew Wyllie said in a statement.
