Mammoet to support nuclear construction in Europe

Mammoet and ULC Energy have agreed to cooperate on construction of new nuclear power facilities in northern Europe.

The deal will see the lift and transport specialist support ULC Energy as it works to deliver several multiple small modular reactors (SMRs) in the Netherlands and Belgium.

The Dutch government has ‘expressed a commitment’ to nuclear power as part of a strategy to deliver clean, reliable and affordable power.

Dirk Rabelink, CEO of ULC Energy, said: “We believe nuclear power will play an important role in future low-carbon energy systems that will benefit homes, businesses and the environment.”

Mammoet has supported the safe and efficient assembly, maintenance and decommissioning of nuclear power facilities around the world for decades.

The company has also taken a lead in modular construction techniques which can help to reduce the time needed to build a nuclear facility.

This involves larger structures being built off-site and then transporting those modules to the location for just-in-time installation.
