Phase 1 of Vault 9 secures uninterrupted Low Level Waste Management service
3 Aug 2009
LLWR Managing Director, Dick Raaz has nothing but praise for the creativity and
professionalism of the project team working on the Vault 9 construction project.
"We never had the luxury of time - we knew we would need an alternative for Vault
8 before Vault 9 was ready. We also knew that we were going to have to be innovative
in the way we managed the project".
He referred to the complexities of running multiple activities in parallel, particularly
the increased health and safety risks "construction sites are one of the most
hazardous working environments you can work in. Our guys have the further complication
of conducting both construction and day to day low level waste operations in the
same area at the same time but I'm not unduly concerned, we have put into action
meticulous safety measures to protect our workforce. I have every confidence
in their abilities".
Paul Bresnan, Managing Director of Birse Nuclear, fully endorsed the comments
made by Dick Raaz and added "we are extremely pleased to have played a key role
in this major achievement and look forward to successful completion of Vault 9".
