A joint venture between Kier Group and Royal BAM Group NV will now refurbish Devonport’s 10 Dock, the first part of a £2bn overhaul of facilities at the UK’s largest dockyard.

Babcock International Group Plc, which operates the yard, appointed Kier BAM Joint Venture (KBJV) after previously announcing a series of major infrastructure projects at Devonport.

Major infrastructure projects

During the next 10 years, new facilities will be developed at the site to meet the evolving requirements of the Royal Navy.

The project includes the redevelopment of a dry dock for nuclear submarines alongside the demolition of existing buildings and the construction of new ones to support the Royal Navy’s submarine maintenance programme. The scope includes all mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, control, and automation technology in the new dock building, a new dividing headwall within the dock, ground anchors, and new service subways to support submarines in their dry dock positions.
