The power generation sector is an essential service industry that uses technologies ranging from the mature steam turbine to pioneering marine current turbines. Since privatisation in the UK in 1990, the main objective of the sector has been profitability for shareholders, although issues such as health, safety, sustainability and fuel poverty have also become increasingly important on the corporate agenda.
Thirty countries currently use nuclear power and about the same number are considering, planning or actively working to include it as part of their energy mix. We’re proud to be involved in a number of high-profile nuclear power projects, at home and abroad. Our valves have the zero-leakage and high integrity properties required in such demanding installations.
