Nuclear Structures
Peter Lindsell & Associates have worked on the care and maintenance, decommissioning and dismantling of nuclear structures since 1993. Acting as specialist structural and demolition consultants to Athene Engineering, members of the Company have undertaken projects at nuclear sites around the UK.
