Nuclear Facilities
Structural engineering for energy and grid infrastructure: substations and converter stations, renewable energy and storage facilities.
Structures that carry, protect and keep electrical plant accessible. Here the structure follows the plant engineering.
What applies
The geometry comes from the electrical engineering: clearances, insulator heights, transformer spacing, fire compartments. Added to that are loads from transformers, short-circuit forces and erection operations, and requirements for oil containment, noise to neighbours and maintenance access.
Clients are network operators, developers and plant builders. Their own technical standards apply on top of the Eurocodes.
Our role
Structural design for buildings, foundations and supports for the plant, detailed design, and verification for transport and erection stages.
