Amec Foster Wheeler Wins Major Radiological Remediation Contract with the U.S. Navy

Amec Foster Wheeler announces today it has been awarded a five-year
contract with U.S. Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) to
clean up and restore Navy properties contaminated with low-level
radioactive materials and industrial wastes. Many of the properties are
on the Superfund National Priority List and are predominantly located in
California.

The contract has an aggregate maximum value of US$240 million for the
multiple awardees and is estimated to reach completion by 2022.

Winning this contract places Amec Foster Wheeler in a prime position for
remediation work with the U.S. Navy. It recognises Amec Foster Wheeler
as a leading company for innovative solutions involving investigation,
remediation, and handling of radioactive materials. The company’s
proprietary Orion ScanSort^SM1 soil sorting technology and
Orion ScanPlot^SM2 mapping technology will be used to safely
deliver cost-efficient results.

Amec Foster Wheeler has an established and leading position in
radiological remediation and waste management. This contract comes on
the back of Amec Foster Wheeler’s project wins and ongoing work for the
U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Canadian
Nuclear Laboratories, and other public and private-sector clients around
the world.

Ann Massey, President of Amec Foster Wheeler’s Environment &
Infrastructure business, said:

“Using our proven expertise and experience in radiological
remediation, we will continue our 15-year history of support for the
U.S. Navy’s environmental programs to deliver a first-class service. We
use safe, efficient and highly innovative methods for the environmental
remediation of radiological waste. We are proud to receive this
commission from NAVFAC, which complements our ongoing work on similar
radiological projects around the world and represents another example of
our success in this area.”

¹ ORION ScanSort^SM is a portable, conveyor-based
system for laboratory quality radiometric scanning and real-time
segregation of radioactive material. ScanSort^SM offers
significant benefits over traditional sorting methods, such as reducing
waste volumes by up to 95%; scanning excavated materials precisely and
accurately; and reduced manpower, transport and disposal costs.

² ORION ScanPlot^SM is a mobile system that
performs surface and shallow-depth radiological examination and
characterisation of open land. It provides instant output in a
customisable GIS report format and delivers spatially precise maps with
plotted locations of detected radioactivity, including concentrations of
each radioactive isotope detected and measured. It delivers fast,
accurate all-weather scanning of up to 20 acres per day, over difficult
terrains.
