setec has won the detailed engineering contract for two EPR2 nuclear power plant buildings at the Penly site in Normandy.
We are proud to be involved in the construction of these new reactors, which mark a significant step in the revival of the French nuclear industry and are a necessary solution to the current climate challenges.
Together with Valentin Dhôte, setec nucléaire project director, our teams will be working as part of the ENSPIR3 consortium, made up of Egis (lead contractor), setec and GEODYNAMIQUE & STRUCTURE.
Several companies within setec, which are all technical hubs of excellence, will be mobilised for this project.
setec nucléaire will rely on the use of digital tools to achieve a high level of performance through digital continuity and retro-engineering, while guaranteeing a consistently high level of quality in the studies carried out.
This will also enable productivity gains, which are essential for reproducing studies at other locations.
setec MTP, setec’s Tunisian subsidiary, will rely on the experience acquired on the Flamanville 3 and Hinkley Point C projects to establish the reinforced concrete reinforcement models.
Terrasol (setec) will deploy geotechnical expertise and innovative skills in soil-structure interaction to support structural design studies for the buildings on the nuclear plant site.
All our teams are ready and eager to bring this major, strategic project to a successful conclusion, with a view to producing low-carbon energy. Together with the partners in the ENSPIR3 consortium, setec is ready to ‘accelerate’ the development of nuclear power, as emphasised at the COP28.
