KBR (NYSE: KBR) has been awarded a contract to continue providing technical design services at HMAS Stirling for the Security and Estate Group and the Australian Submarine Agency. This contract supports the development of facilities and infrastructure for Australia’s future nuclear-powered submarine fleet, enhancing the Submarine Rotational Force (SRF) – West and Australia’s capacity to maintain and operate its submarines.
KBR will build on existing work by integrating the expertise of Frazer Nash Consultancy, focusing on safety-driven nuclear technical solutions. Their work encompasses maritime infrastructure, low-level radioactive waste management, submarine maintenance facilities, estate planning, digital integration, and systems engineering.
This announcement follows KBR’s earlier commitment to provide concept design services for a new nuclear-powered submarine construction yard at Osborne, South Australia, essential for delivering the SSN-AUKUS submarines to the Royal Australian Navy.
Jay Ibrahim, President of KBR Sustainable Technology Solutions, emphasized that KBR’s extensive experience in infrastructure, design, and nuclear safety will be crucial in developing and sustaining nuclear-powered submarines. He expressed pride in KBR’s long-standing role at HMAS Stirling and the high-level capabilities the company brings to this important national security project.
KBR has been involved with infrastructure design for HMAS Stirling through the Navy Capability Infrastructure Subprogram (NCIS) and Defence Fuels Transformation Program (DFTP), and has supported Defence’s Nuclear-Powered Submarine program since late 2021.
