Description of project and customer issues

A company specialising in providing innovative solutions in EPC, engineering, services and products for nuclear environments has worked on several power stations in France and internationally.

At the request of its client, the company wanted to carry out a comprehensive assessment of on-site security practices. The assessment highlighted:

  • an increase in accidents,
  • and deviations from the practices expected by operators.

The diagnosis was carried out in controlled and uncontrolled areas, covering activities such as handling, lifting and the use of specific tools.

To support this initiative, AEGIDE INTERNATIONAL conducted a multi-stage project aimed at analysing existing practices, identifying areas requiring attention and proposing an operational action plan to strengthen security on the site in the long term. This plan was comprehensive and structured, tailored to the specific challenges of the site.
