| Type: | Obsolescence |
| Scope of Supply: | DESIGN ¦ BUILD ¦ TEST ¦ COMMISSION |
| Client: | EDF Energy – Heysham 1 |
| Key Deliverables: | Replacement of RAETP Alarm Management System |
Project Overview
The existing RAETP (Radioactive Active Effluent Treatment Plant) alarm panel, (GM5/Panel 001), showed signs of ageing and needed replacing with a new alarm panel with the same functionality and maximum size.
Why AMS?
Through competitive tender, AMS were awarded this work. Previous experience included the work carried out at Hinkley Point A (MPAS90 replacement project) and Hinkley Point B (CCR Hardwired Fire Alarm System) prescribed the model capability and knowledge. The understanding of EDF procedures and quality standards was also advantage.
