Innovating in the Design of Buildings with a Limited Lifespan

Reduce costs and implementation timelines of your operational activities.

    • Designing a building adapted to constrained environments, often in conjunction with existing facilities
    • Optimise costs and construction times for a limited-duration operation
    • Incorporate a Lean approach without compromising on safety or environmental protection requirements, including on former sites

  • Orano has developed an innovative containment solution using a lightweight textile structure building as a secondary confinement barrier. 

    • Adapt the structure to the actual duration of the project, avoiding additional  costs asscociated with oversized designs
    • Significantly reduce construction time and cost with a faster-to-deploy structure that is simpler to dismantle than traditional heavy constructions
    • Implement a solution that meets regulatory requirements and is validated by the Nuclear Safety Authority
      • Lightweight textile structure designed as a confinement barrier, replacing traditional nuclear buildings using a metal structure designed for conventional applications
      • Ventilation, confinement, radiation protection, and monitoring requirements integrated from the design phase, in accordance with regulatory standards
      • Engineering optimised to adapt to constrained environments and short life cycles
      • Lean methodology applied to nuclear construction, resulting in reduced timelines, optimised costs, and limited environmental impact
      • Flexible and adaptable solution suitable for various contexts in hostile environments
      • Proven track record on a complex project involving the treatment and conditioning of legacy graphite-gas waste (Silo 130 – La Hague site)
