UK Firm Bids on Chernobyl Work
Cleveland Bridge, a UK company that this week announced a nearly £18 million pre-tax loss for last year, has submitted a bid to provide steel for Chernobyl’s New Safe Confinement project. The company is the only UK firm bidding for the work, which will be a subcontract from the main French contractor, a team of Bouygues and Vinci.
Approximately 20,000 tons of steel is expected to be used in the New Safe Confinement Project. The new shelter will be over 100 meters high and 150 meters long.
Cleveland Bridge is bidding against Italian steel contractor Cimolai and an unnamed firm from Turkey. The contract is expected to be worth £40 million. A decision is expected by the end of January 2009.
Previous Cleveland Bridge projects includes building the Humber Bridge in Britain in 1981, the Tsing Ma Bridge in Hong Kong in 1997, and providing steel for London’s new Wembley National Stadium.
