LYNCHBURG, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BWX Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:BWXT) announced today that its BWSR, LLC joint venture with APTIM has been awarded a two-year extension by Bechtel Marine Propulsion Corporation (BMPC). The $140 million award is inclusive of a $14 million option anticipated to be awarded in 2018. There is also an option for a third year of work at a value to be negotiated at a later date.
BWSR performs comprehensive D&D (decommissioning and demolition) and infrastructure support work on complex systems, components and nuclear work facilities at the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program project sites that BMPC manages. BWSR operates at the Naval Reactors Facility in Idaho, the Bettis Laboratory in Pennsylvania, the Knolls Laboratory in New York, and the Kesselring Site in New York.
BWSR has conducted high consequence D&D and infrastructure support work at these sites since October 2010. These activities include the complete demolition of inactive facilities, as well as removal of complex systems in operating nuclear facilities, to allow for new systems installations without compromising ongoing facility operations.
“BWXT takes immense pride in supporting the Nuclear Navy through this important infrastructure support and decommissioning program with our partner, APTIM,” said Rex D. Geveden, BWXT’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We have a very successful track record at the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program sites, and we look forward to continuing these efforts through BMPC.”
The contract extension takes effect October 1, 2017.
