Cegelec CEM’s services cover:
- General design
- Calculations required to install the equipment and size the supports and fastenings, taking into account the seismic risks at each site
- Studies and installation on site, ensuring compliance with the rules specific to each nuclear power plant, especially in controlled areas, while managing a work schedule compatible with “standard” unit outage periods
- Project management:
- Procurement of cables, smooth rigid insulated conduit, sub-distribution cabinets, etc.
- Installation work for the sites studied
- Participation in functional and performance testing
- Removal of old fire detection equipment (height less than 3 metres – without scaffolding)
