Challenges
Understanding Impact and Options for Asset Intervention
With ongoing capability deployment for Sort, Segregation, Consolidation & Cleaning within the First Generation Magnox Storage Pond; the programme needed to understand the impact and options for asset intervention for its In-Pond Manipulator.
Solution
Facilitating Strategic Engineering Workshops
Co-Lab Engineering facilitated a series of engineering optioneering workshops to establish a well-balanced approach to time-risk and cost approach for asset intervention. The output was used at the Legacy Ponds programme board as an information-gathering exercise to support strategic decision-making.
Process
Structured Approach to Solution Definition and Evaluation
The project followed a structured, iterative process to identify and assess asset intervention options. It began with a stakeholder analysis to gather insights and ensure diverse perspectives were considered. Evaluation criteria were then developed and weighted to reflect key factors like cost, safety, and operational impact. A framework was established to define solutions consistently, supported by research and creative thinking to generate a wide range of ideas. These were compiled into a longlist, refined into detailed options, and evaluated using the scoring system. The preferred solution was selected based on this assessment, and a clear execution plan was developed for implementation.
