Ageing & Obsolescence

Replacement CCR Hardwired Fire Alarm System

EDF Energy – Hinkley Point B

AMS provided a detailed design for a replacement hard wired fire alarm system for Hinkley Point B Nuclear Power Station.

RAETP Alarm Management System

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.

Stator Water Caustic Dosing System

EDF Energy – Heysham 2

Due to chemical control issues with TG7 and 8 stator winding cooling water systems, there became a requirement to improve the pH control within the circuit.

Alternative Indication Centre (AIC) – Scada System Upgrade

EDF Energy – Hinkley Point B

AMS partnered with Servelec Controls (Now ITI) to deliver a new SCADA system that mimics the functionality of the existing system.

PCB Reverse Engineering

When an old piece of instrumentation became obsolete, AMS reverse engineered the PCB enabling the client to avoid the costly exercise of qualifying a new piece of equipment for the application.

Sludge Tank Level Monitoring

AMS was contacted by a client to utilise our instrumentation expertise to propose a solution to an obsolescence issue surrounding the level measurement of radioactive effluent in a nuclear power station’s effluent storage tanks.
