Overview
Discover engineering solutions to the technical and environmental challenges facing those conducting high risk lifting at the Institution of Mechanical Engineers’ 9th Nuclear Lifting Seminar - the only event of its kind.
Returning to a live, in person format in Manchester, don't miss this latest edition of this popular seminar, dedicated to lifting projects in the nuclear industry and supporting the engineers and professionals involved.
Attend to explore long term strategies, unique safety cases and cost-effective design that meet regulated standards. Furthermore, understand how best to conduct complex and high risk lifts on decommissioning, operational and new build nuclear sites.
"The IMechE Nuclear Lifting Seminar is a standout event that consistently delivers the opportunity to learn about innovations and developments in lifting technology and notable project achievements."
Principal Inspector - Nuclear Safety, Office for Nuclear Regulation
A key highlight of 2022 will be updates from Devonport, in which representatives from Babcock International Group will share lessons learned from recent incidents and explain how they have taken those findings to enhance their lifting capabilities, safety case development and risk reduction.
Please note: due to overwhelming popularity this year, this event is now fully booked.

"Being located in the Southwest of the country, Devonport can both appear and feel isolated (the M5 stops at Exeter!). With this in mind, I am looking forward to giving an overview of what is an interesting and complex site with some unique operating challenges. Additionally, I enjoy both meeting and listening to the presentations from engineers working at other sites.
"

"The impact this (industry) transition will have (and is having) will likely affect all stakeholders throughout the nuclear lifting and handling industry, from suppliers, to Tier 2 delivery companies, nuclear site operators and licensees right through to the industry regulators. It’s important for all to understand the potential impact this could have across the industry, and to share best practice among everyone involved."
