Design
Our engineering design capabilities span from concept and optioneering to detailed design and build. Our in-house process, mechanical, electrical, control and instrumentation, civil and building services engineers work in multi-discipline teams to apply advanced, innovative and safety-critical approaches to your project.
Our considerable expertise in assessing and analysing nuclear reactors encompasses all major reactor types worldwide (including CANDU, AP1000, EPR and PBMR) enabling us to provide a range of highly specialised services to some of the most challenging technical issues associated with reactor designs. This, with our knowledge of licensed regimes, provides critical support when granting reactor-type licence approval and resolving safety and regulatory issues.
Mechanical engineering
Our expertise spans the total requirement of any nuclear asset, from special purpose remote handling equipment, shielded flasks, rotating machinery, heat exchangers, filtration and dewatering equipment, mechanical handling plant and cranes, power plant, boilers, pipe work and ejector/pumping systems and vessels.
Electrical engineering
We manage contracts ranging from minor plant services to the provision of complete large commercial process and power plants.
Control and Instrumentation (C and I)
AMEC has a wide range of experience in advanced control and instrument systems for process plants and building services, including modern digital, analogue and pneumatic control and measurement techniques and their implementation.
Structural analysis and integrity
Assets such as reactors, cranes, platforms, rigs and their respective components require ongoing engineering structural assessment. This is to analyse their safety and operational performance as a result of stress, fatigue, corrosion and other material behaviours.
Our specialist team of engineers provide structural integrity services including material properties analysis, materials modelling, fatigue and fracture assessment, stress analysis and measurement over a wide range of physical scales and temperatures.
