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.
An oxygen injection monitoring system at Heysham 1 safeguards reactor coolant, preventing fuel cladding failure with fleet-wide applicability.
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.
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.
Hinkley Point B’s ageing IFD pneumatic panel was replaced with a modern, fully documented solution to restore reliable long-term operations.
A legacy alarm annunciation system at Hinkley Point A’s PWTP was replaced with a modern, fully integrated solution, improving long-term reliability.
A radio-based PA system replaced ageing infrastructure at Hinkley Point A during decommissioning, maintaining uninterrupted site-wide communications.
