Nuclear Solutions
For more than 20 years, ITS has delivered industrial automation, process automation solutions and software to one of the UK’s most demanding sectors.
As a leading system integrator in the UK, our control and automation systems are designed to meet the highest standards of safety, reliability, and compliance, ensuring they perform in the most regulated environments.
Our experience spans the full nuclear lifecycle. We design and integrate process control systems, software solutions and industrial control systems for new build projects, provide long-term support and life-extension services for the operational fleet, and deliver safe, compliant solutions for complex decommissioning programmes.
The nuclear industry operates under unique pressures. Ageing infrastructure and obsolescence create constant challenges, while new digital technologies must be introduced without compromising safety or compliance.
Every control solution must withstand extreme operating conditions and pass rigorous regulatory scrutiny. That’s why all our projects are delivered by Suitably Qualified and Experienced Personnel (SQEP) with direct experience in nuclear projects.”
Their expertise ensures every control system we design or integrate is both technically robust and aligned with industry standards.
