The Nuclear Institute Northeast Branch are delighted to be hosting a site visit to KAEFER UK & Ireland’s Head Office and Fabrication Facility in Jarrow on Thursday 30th October at 14.00.
KAEFER’s fabrication facility is a leader in precision-engineered steel fabrications, ductwork, and HVAC solutions, with over 25 years of expertise. The site employs more than 50 skilled tradespeople and apprentices, supporting sustainable careers in the Northeast and delivering high-quality products across the UK & Ireland.
During the visit, guests will gain an insight into KAEFER’s role in the UK’s nuclear and defence sectors. From manufacturing specialist ductwork for the nuclear island at Hinkley Point C, to supporting the Royal Navy with critical components, the Jarrow facility plays an important part in delivering projects that underpin the UK’s energy transition and national security.
The afternoon will include a presentation and guided walkthrough of the fabrication halls, showcasing KAEFER’s capabilities in plasma cutting, welding, inspection, and quality control – all underpinned by a nuclear safety culture and continuous improvement ethos.
Spaces are limited and early booking via the Nuclear Institute website is advised.
Time: 14:00-17:00

Rolls-Royce Submarines and global technology company, Siemens, have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to collaborate on digital optimisation and boost efficiency across engineering.
Signed by both parties at the Defence & Security Equipment International event in London in September, the MOU encourages shared and mutual collaboration, with the ultimate aim to minimise time to production for new Rolls-Royce technology, while reducing cost and risk within an increasingly complex engineering, manufacturing and operational environment.
Rolls-Royce Submarines currently employs more than 5,000 people and designs, manufactures and provides in-service support to the pressurised water reactors that power every boat in the Royal Navy’s submarine fleet.
Siemens’ trusted software and hardware from the Siemens Xcelerator open business innovation platform helps companies transform processes – accelerating innovation, improving productivity and enhancing efficiency.
This collaboration with Siemens will support Rolls-Royce Submarines in delivering UK sovereign defence requirements more effectively, enabling a more knowledgeable, productive, secure and agile operation.
The collaboration will benefit from the sharing of best practice across the digital landscape, with the ultimate aim being to enhance skills across engineering, manufacturing, research & development, training and reactor operation and maintenance, using digital technology as an enabler.
