Design, qualify remote non-destructive testing

Design, qualify remote non-destructive testing

Design, develop and deploy remote intervention methodologies and tools to perform Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) in hostile areas that are inaccessible to humans. 

  • During operation phase:

    • Rely on appropriate monitoring methods for hostile/irradiated areas and/or areas with restricted access
    • Design, develop and qualify new tools for monitoring operations in hostile arears
    • Benefit from comprehensive support through our wide range of NDT expertise to adapt control solutions in hostile environments:
      • Identification of areas of interest for control and specification of control types,
      • Service from design to commissioning of new control equipment
    • Adaptation of existing NDT technologies:
      • Remotely operated tools (drones, motorised poles, motorised trolleys, telemanulator arms, hydraulic ferrets, etc.),
      • Visual control by HD camera or muonic imaging,
      • Thickness measurement and defect detection by ultrasound/ eddy currant, 
      • Surface condition analysis,
      • Chemical analysis by remote Raman spectrometry (without sampling)
      • Vibration analysis to identify mechanical process failures
    • Leverage the pooling of our skills around the same topic, from design to laboratory trials testing

     

    • Multidisciplinary and responsive team to meet your needs: mechanics, robotics, intervention in hostile environments, materials expertise, non-destructive testing
    • Use cases implemented at various Orano sites with COFREND certification
    • Test hall in Beaumont Hague covering design studies and industrial-scale implementation
    • Pipe thicknesses measurements up to 10 mm with internal diameters ranging from 14 mm to 65 mm over a lengths of up to 20 m
    • Introduction of tools (poles, measuring probes, drones, etc.) through Ø 100 mm sleeves
