Often, the needs of operators are overlooked in the excitement of a new construction project. But that’s not the case with Dentons.

Our construction team is as focused on the long-term success of your project as you are, and experience tells us that construction documents—especially in an era of increasing use of alternative delivery systems—need to anticipate the operational characteristics of the projects. Our approach of paying early and consistent attention to these issues helps your project by clarifying the responsibilities of construction consortium members and making sure that contractors and designers address the needs of owner/operators.

Whether your project is an oil and gas facility, power plant, road, rail project, hotel, office tower, hospital, school or even a prison, our team has been there and knows how to support the needs of project operators during development, design, construction and after acceptance.

Experience

Babcock Dounreay Partnership: Advising a joint venture of Babcock International, URS and CH2M HILL in its bid for the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority’s (NDA) Tier 1 management and operation contract, to operate and decommission the Dounreay nuclear site. Our unrivalled experience in this highly specialized market was employed to cement our client's winning position. This is the third NDA Tier 1 contract to be awarded in the UK’s program of privatizing nuclear decommissioning. Our nuclear team has advised all previous successful bidders in this program, including for the £17 billion Sellafield contract. Our legal support was decisive in establishing a contractual model for completing the decommissioning of the Dounreay facility by 2021, several years earlier than previous forecasts and using innovation in areas such as waste packaging to reduce costs. This experience demonstrates how we can help meet the challenges that will face the nuclear industry as the first generation of reactors are retired.
CNIM S.A.: Advising the French engineering and construction company on the drafting, negotiation and implementation of a Fédération Internationale Des Ingénieurs-Conseils (FIDIC) design-build-operate contract, adapted to conform with Azerbaijani law, for the construction and operation of a €346 million state-of-the-art waste-to-energy incineration plant in Baku, and related corporate, commercial, administrative and employment work.
