NUCLEAR POWER PLANT EPR, Flamanville, France
air conditioning and emergency power (UPS and generators) will be supplied by centralised dual systems for the critical installations. Finally, we should underline that the project is subject to strict constraints inherent to the specific nature of the building : special equipment, US anti-terrorist standards, intrusion detection systems and communications systems.
This new generation EPR (European Pressurised Reactor) nuclear reactor will be put into service in 2012 in Flamanville, in the BasseNormandie region. The design, production of the plans in accordance with EDF’s very strict standards, and the operating conditions must be approved by the French Commission for Nuclear Safety and Radiation Protection. During the construction phase, the site for this nuclear electricity power plant with a power of 1650 mW will employ 2000 people.
GAS AND STEAM TURBINE ELECTRICITY POWER STATIONS,
Navagne This ambitious project, currently being drawn up, will start in the third quarter of 2009. It is for the installation of two combined gas and steam turbine electricity power stations, 400 mW each, at the Navagne site, near Visé alongside the river Meuse. The consortium formed by the English design office PB Power and TPF Engineering has won the contract from the Société de Production d’Electricité (SPE) for the engineering, provisioning and construction (EPC), comprising the basic design, drawing up the business consultation documents, assessing the bids as well as the coordination and supervision of the execution of the works. Our teams are also responsible for supplying a preliminary study report for the geotechnical and topographical feasibility studies and to control the structural and civil engineering designs. We should underline that these new power stations will represent the largest industrial investment made this decade in Wallonia, and they could be opened by the beginning of 2012.
EPR NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, Flamanville, France
By awarding us the production of the civil engineering working plans of the NAB (Nuclear Auxiliary Building), the Bouygues TP - SETEC tpi partnership has given us the opportunity to take part in a project that is remarkable for its size, the investment cost being estimated at some 3.3 billion euros.
WATERFRONT, Namur
The ‘Waterfront’ refers mainly to a complex of 280 low energy consumption residential units along the Avenue Albert I and by the side of the river Meuse at a place called ‘Port du Bon Dieu’. Sixteen buildings in superstructure will be erected there. This residential complex will also provide a car park with 280 spaces. The assignment we have been given by the Atenor group covers the structural designs.
RENOVATION OF SHOPPING CENTRES, Mons and Fleron
Our order book also includes projects for shopping areas. More precisely, as part of the building redevelopment and property management activities of Redevco Belgium, a contract relating to the structural and civil engineering designs has been signed for the renovation of the Carrefour hypermarket in Ghlin and the Brico DIY store in Fléron. In Ghlin, part of the existing buildings will be demolished and new areas will be built. Fléron will benefit from an extension to the shopping areas. Once this work has been completed the car parks and the surrounding grounds will be completely restructured.
