This newly formed Company brings together two sister companies from VINCI Construction to form a dynamic team consisting of Norwest Holst Limited, with its local resources and construction experience and Freyssinet Nuclear, which has many years experience of nuclear related projects both within France and throughout the world. 1-Operation and Maintenance We have been working on nuclear related projects for many years. These operations range from laboratories, factories and power stations to fuel reprocessing facilities in which we have worked with radiological elements such as uranium, plutonium, tritium and other isotopes. 2-Waste Storage Facilities Our team has extensive heavy civil engineering experience and is currently undertaking the construction of encapsulation and waste storage facilities as well as the repair and seismic strengthening of existing structures. 3-Asset Management It is important that site operators know the condition of their installations and the equipment they contain. We have developed and implemented a software package called “ScanPrint”. This is a powerful tool for long-term infrastructure management and maintenance.It allows the integration of inspection, maintenance and photo records with the automatic generation of reports and records being readily available for analysis. The site operator thus knows the condition and the history of their installations, allowing the planning of future maintenance and decommissioning.
