UK-based engineering giant Amec Foster Wheeler said Monday it had been awarded a five-year contract with U.S. Naval Facilities Engineering Command to clean up and restore Navy properties contaminated with low-level radiation materials and industrial waste.
The contract, valued at $240 million, includes multiple assignments and awards for work expected to be concluded by 2022.
"Winning this contract places Amec Foster Wheeler in a prime position for remediation work with the U.S. Navy," the company said in a statement.
The contract will make use of two proprietary technologies, including Orion ScanSortSMI soil sorting technology and Orion ScanPlotSM2 mapping technology.
