Nuclear Security & Deterrence
Trusted Engineering for the Nation’s Most
Sensitive Missions
Merrick is a long-standing leader in nuclear deterrence support, providing specialized engineering for facilities and systems that manage some of the nation’s most consequential materials. Our expertise centers on the design, engineering, and integration of facilities and systems for containing and handling plutonium, uranium, lithium, and tritium — knowledge that allows us to help clients define requirements before design begins, reducing uncertainty and risk.
Unlike firms that focus only on staffing levels, Merrick delivers capability. Our teams provide first-of-a-kind engineering solutions for complex programs, supporting projects from early concept through detailed design and transition to operations. Clients rely on our candor and technical judgment to identify issues early and keep projects aligned with budget and schedule realities.
Security and quality are foundational. Merrick operates within mature nuclear quality programs and approved security systems that protect sensitive information and ensure compliance with federal requirements. We also apply advanced modeling and visualization tools, including digital twins and immersive design reviews, to help operators engage designs early and de-risk execution.
