HUKARI has provided engineering support services to Department of Energy (DOE) site prime contractors and commercial clients. Our broad range of engineering management and technical support ranges from the conceptual planning/design stages, through startup, day-to-day facility support, minor modification, testing/operations and maintenance, to major modification, support of facility decommissioning/closure, off-normal operations, significant construction projects, and development/implementation of entire programs. Our services supporting new construction, operating plants, and those facilities undergoing various phases of deactivation, decommissioning, and environmental closure consist of:

  • Electrical Engineering
  • Mechanical Engineering
  • Civil/Structural Engineering
  • Chemical Engineering
  • Radiological Engineering
  • Project Engineering/Management (ME, CE, EE, etc.)
