Costain Defence

Defence and Nuclear energy

Supporting the strategic defence capabilities and energy resilience that protect and power the UK, its people, values, and interests.

Both the defence and nuclear markets are highly complex and sensitive, requiring specialist understanding, experience and expertise. Across defence we support the UK’s most strategic systems and the service personnel that use infrastructure to live, work and train for operations. We combine our civil and defence nuclear experience, ensuring long-term, low carbon, energy security, and sustain the UK deterrent programme. We improve our clients’ performance and capabilities to deliver their programmes in more adaptable, flexible and connected ways.

How Costain can help?

We are one of the largest providers of project and engineering services to the UK nuclear market and have been involved with some of the UK’s largest nuclear construction projects.

Operational optimisation and security

We optimise the performance and security of individual assets or entire networks of assets at any point in the lifecycle. We transform infrastructure intelligence through the development and integration of leading-edge digital technology solutions built on our deep domain knowledge and client insight.

Optimisation of processes, systems and infrastructure can achieve improved outcomes such as increasing efficiency, effectiveness and resilience whilst having minimal impact on operations. Optimisation encourages a proactive response rather than reactive. We harness our cross sector experience in delivering programme, portfolio and project management to deliver agile, mature systems.
