Tecnatom has been awarded a framework contract covering integral snubber maintenance services for Cernavoda nuclear power plant, in Rumania. This is a 4-year contract that encompasses all activities relating to both mechanical and hydraulic snubbers.
These activities will be carried out in consortium with the local company Titan Echipamente Nucleare (TEN), a heavy machinery engineering and manufacturing company that periodically performs work at power plants and that has a relevant presence at Cernavoda.
The activities that will be carried out within the framework of this contract include functional testing, snubber maintenance, the manufacturing of spares, failure analysis, remaining lifetime assessment and the implementation of management software. The achievement of this contract strengthens Tecnatom’s position in Rumania, where the company carries out other work in the areas of HVAC and engineering.
Cernavoda nuclear power plant has two CANDU-6 heavy water groups, each with a power level of 700 MWe, and two new plants are being built on the site.
