HOUSTON, Sept. 10,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- KBR (NYSE: KBR) today announced
that it has been awarded a contract to continue to deliver
technical design services at HMAS Stirling by the Security and
Estate Group and the Australian Submarine Agency. This work will
support the sovereign nuclear-powered submarines facilities and
infrastructure program, enabling the Submarine Rotational Force
(SRF) – West, and accelerating Australia's ability to safely own, operate,
maintain and sustain its own future nuclear powered submarine
fleet.
Building on the design and construction work already underway,
KBR will continue to integrate the unique capabilities of Frazer
Nash Consultancy, a KBR company, to support a safety-led approach
for nuclear technical solutions. KBR's expertise involves
developing solutions for maritime infrastructure, low-level
radioactive waste management, submarine maintenance support
facilities, estate planning, digital integration and systems
engineering requirements.
The new work at HMAS Stirling follows KBR's announcement that
the company would provide concept design services for the new
nuclear-powered submarine construction yard at Osborne in
South Australia, which is critical
to deliver the new SSN-AUKUS submarines to the Royal Australian
Navy.
"KBR's infrastructure, design, nuclear safety and systems
experience will be the cornerstone for shaping the future
capability required to build and sustain nuclear powered
submarines," said Jay Ibrahim,
President, KBR Sustainable Technology Solutions. "KBR is
delighted to have been selected to undertake this incredibly
important infrastructure work. The trust that has been placed in us
is testament to our long history at HMAS Stirling and the world
class capabilities that we can contribute to this critical national
security endeavour."
KBR has been providing infrastructure design to the Security and
Estate Group and the Royal Australian Navy at HMAS Stirling for
several years through the Navy Capability Infrastructure Subprogram
(NCIS) and Defence Fuels Transformation Program (DFTP). The company
has also been working with Defence on its Nuclear-Powered Submarine
program since late 2021.
