Nuclear & Defence

SCX Special Projects has implemented lifting cranes and mechanical handling solutions at the majority of UK-licenced sites including Sellafield, Sizewell, Dounreay, Hunterston, Bradwell, Winfrith and many others. We have also engineered solutions for numerous defence projects, from manufacturing to package handling to sea-going cranes, for clients such as MoD, Rolls Royce, Bombardier, BAE and more.

We are well-versed in creating solutions that focus on safety case outcomes, while keeping value and project delivery front of mind.

Our approach combines modular lifting solutions, using robust, industry-proven technologies, with extensive EC&I capabilities. We customise and modify only where necessary, engineering the solution to your specific project requirements.

SCX Special Projects is also the exclusive UK licence holder for the MotoSuiveur failsafe hoist safety unit. The MotoSuiveur is a self-contained, passive and permissive safety system that drives both cost and complexity out of your safety case.
