Nuclear
Introduction
The nuclear decommissioning sector faces unique challenges, particularly when dealing with legacy and obsolete components.
PES Performance offers specialised 3D scanning and mechanical engineering design and services, including reverse engineering and design optimisation, to ensure the safe and efficient decommissioning of nuclear facilities.
3D Scanning Services
Obsolete / Legacy Parts – Our 3D scanning technology provides precise digital representations of existing components and structures. We use advanced optical, laser, and CT scanning methods to capture detailed data, which we use to accurately reverse engineer and redesign parts.
• Accurate Data Capture: 3D scanning ensures precise measurements, crucial for recreating legacy components.
• Non-Contact Measurement: This method is ideal for delicate or hazardous materials.
• Comprehensive Data: We capture both external and internal details, enabling thorough analysis.
Large-Scale 3D Scanning – Our large-scale 3D scanning services are specifically designed for facility digital twinning and layout optimisation.
- The advanced laser scanning technology captures intricate details of your facility, enabling precise layout analysis and simulation for future process improvements.
- This allows the optimisation of space, streamlined equipment placement, plus the scan data can be used for predictive maintenance, asset management, and enhanced safety training.
- By generating accurate digital replicas, it is possible to improve space utilisation, reduce operational expenses, and drive data-driven decision-making.
Mechanical Engineering Design
From a detailed scanned 3D model, our mechanical engineering design team can reverse engineer and redesign obsolete components.
• Reverse Engineering: CAD models are created from scanned data, allowing for the reproduction of critical parts.
• Redesigning for Safety and Efficiency: Our engineers can optimise designs for modern safety standards and operational efficiency.
• Material Selection and Analysis: We ensure components are suitable for the requirements of the nuclear environment.
Real-World Applications in Nuclear Decommissioning
• Replacement of Obsolete Valves and Pumps: 3D scanning and reverse engineering allow for the recreation of critical components, ensuring continued operation.
