CORELOC™ BARAKAH NUCLEAR POWER PLANT

YEAR : 2013-2014

PROJECT: BARAKAH NUCLEAR POWER PLANT

COUNTRY: ABU DHABI

COMPANY: NMDC

CLIENT: ENEC-KEPCO

 

 

 

HISTORY:

 

NMDC was to build the water intake protection dam for the BARAKAH NUCLEAR POWER PLANT at ABU DHABI.

NMDC used two POSIBLOC ™.

The installation of CORELOC ™ was refused by KEPCO and NMDC was delayed.

 

 

 

 

THE KEY NUMBERS :

 

110,000 CORELOC ™ of 1.4 m3.

 

 

 

 

 

THE MISSION :

IDMer, now CLAS acted, as an independent consultant with the mission of:

Train all personnel in specific CORELOC ™ safety.

Train CORELOC ™ placing teams.

Ensure the interface between the company, the client and CLI.

Establish and implement inspection procedures.

Catch up on delays.

 

 

PRODUCTION:

Production is calculated on the basis of actual installation hours. Stoppages    due to bad weather, breakdowns and, in general, causes unrelated to the    installation of CORELOC ™ are not taken into account in this calculation.

CORELOC ™ 1.4 m3: 15 units per hour.

 

 

 

 

PROCEDURE:

The CLAS inspectors intervened full time in order to carry out several daily    inspections and thus not delay the work by imposing significant dismantling. 

The training of diving and non-diving personnel has been continued in order to  maintain the highest level of safety and quality.

At the end of each inspection, a debriefing was organized with the installation  team.

 

 

 

The inspections were carried out underwater by IMCA and HSE certified CLAS inspectors, who strictly apply the principles defined in the CLAS TECHNOLOGY COMPLIANT ™ trademark and out of the water by foot and by boat.

 

  

 

 

RESULT:

The site was delivered on time and the CORELOC ™ shell received without    reservation by the client.
