Designing Mechanical Systems for Harsh Environments
Ensure the reliability and remote maintainance of your equipment in hostile nuclear environments.
1
Challenges
Design equipment suitable for operation in environments inaccessible to humans
(robotic arms, manipulators, robots)
Integrate robust devices from the design stage onwards, limiting failures and maintenance interventions
Facilitate
remote disassembly and reassembly
Reduce intervention durations
to preserve production capacity and minimize operator exposure
Ensuring
safety and security requirements
throughout the entire life cycle, even during operations in confined or irradiated environments

Our Solution
Benefit from a
comprehensive
solution from design to industrial commissioning
, ensuring
the long-term performance of your equipment
in
environments
inaccessible to humans
Rely on standards proven by
50 years of experience
(robust, modular designs that are easy to maintain remotely, thereby limiting operational interruptions and operator exposure)
Integrate
suitable materials
(resistant to irradiation, abrasion, corrosion) and
proven components
from the design phase onwards to ensure high reliability
Accelerate the qualification of your industrial systems with virtual reality and inactive laboratory testing
, used to simulate operations
Reduce
operating costs
with a
modular design
enabling quick and safe replacement of wear parts
Receive support from design to commissioning,
with
on-site assistance provided by teams with dual engineering/operational expertise
Mechanical solutions for operations in a hostile environment
50 years of proven experience
