EDF Energy – Hinkley Point B
This project involved the design of a modification to a manual valve to provide automatic operation of the valve to overcome the potential local hazards which could prevent isolation of the system if a seismic event were to occur.
Specialist EC&I support at Heysham 1 enabled safe integration of a new Gaseous Activity Monitoring system without disrupting reactor operations.
Hinkley Point B’s hardwired CCR alarm system was replaced to QA Grade 2, preserving operator familiarity and ensuring long-term reliability.
An oxygen injection monitoring system at Heysham 1 safeguards reactor coolant, preventing fuel cladding failure with fleet-wide applicability.
EDF Energy – Heysham 1
The existing RAETP (Radioactive Active Effluent Treatment Plant) alarm panel showed signs of ageing and needed replacing with a new alarm panel with the same functionality and maximum size.
A new caustic dosing system at Heysham 2 maintains stator water pH, protecting generator components from corrosion and ensuring reliable operation.
EMI/RFI upgrades at Hinkley Point B improved cabinet shielding and bonding across nuclear control systems, validated through formal type testing.
EDF Energy – Dungeness B
AMS evaluated the proposed EDF concept design and expanded the concept whilst working closely with the site engineers to ensure the system was fit for purpose and compatible with existing infrastructure.

AMS partnered with Servelec Controls (Now ITI) to deliver a new SCADA system that mimics the functionality of the existing system.
The legacy ABB Advant AC450 control system at St Cuthbert’s Mill was replaced with a modern PLC and SCADA platform to improve long-term reliability.
EDF Energy – Dungeness B
AMS’ scope was to utilise the existing controls and indications within the CCR whilst providing an interface which allows the controls and indication to operate with either the old or new plant
Hinkley Point B’s ageing IFD pneumatic panel was replaced with a modern, fully documented solution to restore reliable long-term operations.
