(i) Engineering construction projects Structural steel erection, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation and insulation
engineering construction project work (and scaffolding and cranage in support of such work) on onshore engineering construction facilities, and expert dismantling of such facilities.

(b) Nuclear new build
A joint Working Party to consider appropriate working arrangements on nuclear new build and a nuclear supplementary payment will be developed at an appropriate time to be agreed by the NJC.
(c) Nuclear decommissioning
The NAECI is well suited for use in nuclear decommissioning where the skills and expertise of engineering construction contractors and their employees can make a valuable contribution. The work should be classified under 1.4(a)(i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) as appropriate.
