Wilde Consulting Engineers have provided design, assessment and analysis services for complex multi disciplinary nuclear safety related projects for over twenty five years. These services have been provided on projects both in the UK and overseas, acting for either Client organisations, design and build contractors or national regulators.
Designs prepared by Wilde Consulting Engineers have been licensed in the UK, USA and Eastern Europe. Commissions vary from carrying out the analysis and design of an entire facility to providing expert comment on discrete aspects of a project.
