Overview

This event will explore the current Advanced Transition Works taking place within a nuclear facility that must remain fully operational throughout construction. Attendees will gain insight into the history and original purpose of the Shaft, as well as the significant historical events that have shaped the present-day engineering challenges.

The presentation will also provide an overview of the Shaft and Silo design, examining the multidisciplinary interfaces and the critical role these transition works play in enabling future construction phases.

Delivered by Ebisine Ambakederemo and Danny Innes, the session will highlight the complex considerations involved in undertaking civil engineering works within a highly regulated nuclear environment.

With a focus on the decommissioning of facilities that have been in operation for up to 70 years, the presentation will offer a unique perspective on managing legacy infrastructure, safety constraints, and evolving technical requirements.

Danny Innes

Danny is a Senior Engineer on the Shaft and Silo project. He provides support to Ebisine on the ongoing Advanced Transition Project and is responsible for design oversight on the wider Shaft and Silo programme of works. In addition, he is also appointed as the Temporary Works Co-ordinator for the site works and as the appointed Intelligent Customer, provides civil and structural support to the wider Dounreay site.

He has worked on the Dounreay site since 2013, initially gaining experience at the Prototype Fast Reactor within the Reactor Dismantling project team. He continues to support the wider site with both new build designs and inspections or substantiations of existing facilities to ensure that they continue to meet their original design requirements and key nuclear site Licence Conditions.

Danny is also passionate about supporting and developing the next generation of engineers. He is actively involved with the Dounreay Graduate Scheme since 2018 as a mentor, and supporting younger students and apprentices through their early career.
