Mechanical And Remote Handling

When it comes to remote handling we recognise that our customers need safe, simple and cost effective solutions that really deliver.

The nuclear industry is challenging for original equipment suppliers with compound environmental risk factors including radiation, humidity, corrosive atmospheres and potential ATEX requirements.

The legislative constraints can often appear onerous with CDM and EC legislation enforced through formal compliance. Clients too will invariably be extremely conscious of safety. Third party certified body involvement in respect of pressure equipment directives (PED), electromagnetic compliance (EMC) and lifting (LOLER) is considered normal as is BS EN 61508 compliance, safety case integration (HAZID, HAZOP, HAZAN) and peer review of designs and documentation. Quality grades stipulate requirements for NDT (and DT) in addition to LTQR requirements, material traceability and weld compliance.
