NBC has been involved in early consultation with OPRED and JNCC to help secure a successful application for a bird licence during the decommissioning of oil and gas platforms scheduled for removal in Spring 2021 forward.

The key to this successful application is based on our successful track record of effective bird mitigation operations onshore, including supporting UK nuclear decommissioning sites and supporting large utility companies such as Thames Water.
