Barakah – CLAS Assistance and Certification (NMDC)

The construction site for the protection breakwater of the water intakes of the BARAKAH nuclear power plant in Abu Dhabi had been halted.

NMDC was required to place 110,000 CORELOC units on this project. The use of the POSIBLOC™ system led to the refusal of placement and to delays on the construction site. IDMer, now CLAS, intervened on an emergency basis.

POSIBLOC™ is a registered trademark owned by MESURIS, which is in no way affiliated with CLAS.

The POSIBLOC™ systems were stopped and replaced by divers whom we trained.
