We have recently had the delight of supporting the newly launched National Nuclear College located within Lillyhall training estate in Workington, West Cumbria.

Delkia in collaboration with the college and Sellafield, provided design and assembly of 8 bespoke PLC test bays. These have been designed and assembled with a view to provide prospective students with typical examples of the types of control systems with the nuclear industry they can expect to encounter.  It's a simplistic but brilliant idea to generate bespoke setups from  remote wireless PLC's &  I/O's to hardwired solutions. It certainly shows a flair for new technologies and also importantly underpins the necessity that nuclear safety relies heavily upon proven robust functional control and safety systems.

We wish the college well and look forward to attending the grand opening soon ....update to follow.

Delkia recently welcomed Copeland Conservative MP Trudy Harrison to the office, during her ongoing commitment to visit every Copeland based company engaged in the Nuclear Sector. During the visit Trudy was very keen to hear Delkia history, vision and our views on the state of current and future SME opportunities both within the County and more importantly outwardly into new national and international markets. It was an engaging and collaborative conversation resulting in some excellent ideas on how to train, grow and promote this County’s great potential as world leader in technology solution provision. We offered her our full support and best wishes in her endeavours to keep Cumbria at the forefront of Government policy and look forward to many more future opportunities to feed in to that process.   

Delkia's female staff was at Cockermouth School this week part of 'World of Work Day'!
 
Not only raising the awareness of Automation and Power Engineering for secondary schools but our own ambassador for STEM and Women in Engineering.  Delkia workforce stated "It was great honour to be asked to be part of the Cockermouth School World of Work Day.  Our role was to perform mock interviews with a number of students.  .  We found it quite a humbling experience to spend time with these young people and to hear about their dreams and aspirations and for them to openly share and trust me with their innermost thoughts.

Recently appointed Mike Luchford, Associate Director, heads up our new South East office, based at Discovery Park, Sandwich in Kent. The opening of this new office is to ensure a point of contact for our customer’s in the Southern Region and to continue to grow our capacity within this area.

​Over 70 members of Britain’s Energy Coast Business Cluster (BECBC) gathered at Delkia’s Cleator Moor facilities last Thursday for the quarterly BECBC Nuclear Engagement Sector Group meeting.

​Local Cumbrian company, Delkia hosted the event along with PaR Systems Limited, the Seascale-based unit of the international nuclear materials handling business, PaR Systems Inc. They have been working together on a project for the National Nuclear Laboratory (NNL) and a case study about this successful collaboration was at the heart of the meeting’s agenda.

Since September our Control Panel technician, Elliot and our CE&I Designer, Jack, have been completing their HNC in Electrical and Electronic engineering at Lakes College. Both Elliot and Jack are studying part-time, which means that for 18 months they attend college one day a week.
With a full semester completed and a series of merit and distinction grades already in the bank, we’ve asked them to reflect on their journey so far.

​After a successful re-brand and expansion to Delkia’s capability, we are pleased to announce that we are opening a second office in Cinnamon House, Warrington.

​Jack Walker, our CE&I Designer, received vital SCAN Bursary to fund his place the IEE 17th Edition course. Here is how he feels the funding and course have benefited him.

​Controls, an advanced manufacturer specialist in Panel Building and System Integration, has won a key nuclear contract to local powerhouse NG Bailey. iControls successfully branched out of the multiple-awarding engineering design and consultancy company Safety Critical in 2014.
