Actavo receives Industry Recognition for work with Magnox

Actavo Industrial Solutions, a provider of engineering services to the world’s leading industrial companies in the petrochemical, power, oil and gas, marine, nuclear and pharmaceutical sectors, has been awarded a ‘Certificate of Excellence’ by the trade association ACAD. Actavo received a 100% score in an asbestos audit for its outstanding standards at the Oldbury nuclear decommissioning site, part of the Magnox Limited fleet of first-generation magnesium-oxide fuelled generating stations.

In October 2020, Actavo secured a framework contract with Magnox Ltd for access, insulation, asbestos removal and other industrial services at six nuclear sites undergoing decommissioning. The four-year project will conclude in September 2024.

Jim Salkeld, Managing Director for Actavo Industrial Solutions UK said: “Actavo has a long-term working partnership with Magnox ranging across a number of decommissioning projects and programmes. This is a great achievement for the on-site asbestos team based at Oldbury. It highlights their ability to deliver a high-quality service and demonstrates Actavo’s core value, ‘Live Safety’. Actavo’s is committed to providing the highest safety standards within a healthy work environment for all projects across every division.”
