Egremont-based systems integrator Delkia is working on a project with Kawasaki. The contract involves the development, integration and testing of software to control a robotic arm used in nuclear waste categorisation.

From ditching paper documents to switching to electric heating, 29% of businesses in the UK are striving towards net zero carbon emissions in a variety of ways. On its own journey to offset its carbon emissions, Cumbria-based systems integrator Delkia had a tree planting ceremony on March 17, 2022. The event has kicked off Delkia’s carbon reduction plan to achieve net zero by 2050.

Cumbria-based systems integrator Delkia has opened a new clean electronics lab at its facility in Egremont. The lab will meet a need in the market for the specialised repair and testing of legacy and new electronic equipment from highly specialised sectors including nuclear, defence, aerospace and maritime.

Delkia has landed a nuclear package of work from the multi-billion framework 3Ps, Programme and Project Partner for Sellafield. The framework is made up of five major partners, including Sellafield, Morgan Sindall, Doosan Babcock, KBR and Jacobs Clean Energy, to support on major capital projects at the Sellafield nuclear site.

Nuclear systems integrator, Delkia is one of a select group of companies to be granted Fit For Nuclear (F4N) status by the Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC). Delkia’s performance has been benchmarked against standards outlined by the nuclear industry’s top tiers and has driven business improvements through a tailored action plan.

Reliability and longevity are some of the hallmarks of industrial systems used in the defence sector, with systems often expected to be in place for decades. However, it is often the case that when purchasing systems from third-party sellers, they are not the optimal solution for the job and, because relationships end at the point of sale, ongoing support is minimal at best.
