The firm will provide a new effluent treatment plant for the site with the deal being awarded by Dounreay Site Restoration Limited (DSRL), the body responsible for decommissioning the former centre of fast reactor research and development.

All liquid effluent from the new plant will be managed, processed and discharged by pipeline to the existing low-level liquid effluent treatment plant.
