The nuclear industry needs to update their systems to meet changing decommissioning dates and responsibly process residues of nuclear fuel manufacturing.
GHD supports clients across the fuel manufacture and power generation areas of the nuclear industry, solving challenging problems with our multi-disciplinary experience. Our services range from helping plants operate at peak performance with plant replacement to developing processing and disposal solutions for complex residues and readying fuel manufacture sites for demolition and decommissioning.
Within nuclear plants, we work around existing equipment to develop cost-effective solutions as clients upgrade their safety critical and balance of plant systems. These include designing replacements for CO2 pipework, steam, and hypochlorite dosing.
Our knowledge of steel and HDPE materials is critical to designing long-lasting and code-compliant cooling system pipework. We carry out pipe stress analysis to ensure our designs will stand up to static, dynamic, and seismic loads.
Using the latest innovative scanning and BIM technology, we build detailed models showing how upgrades fit around existing equipment and are scheduled within outage periods.
GHD also works with nuclear fuel manufacturing clients, developing solutions for complex and orphaned residues from concept to scheme and detailed design. We work on COMAH Tier 1 sites to help clients safely treat soluble Uranium and prepare sites for decommissioning and demolition by coordinating service diversions around the building footprint.
Our clients benefit from our knowledge in process, mechanical, electrical, civil, and structural design. They rely on GHD for our combination of this experience, our flexible approach, and reliability in helping clients meet their operational obligations.
