Nuclear

Socitec addresses the significant challenges and specific needs for vibration and shock isolation and protection within the nuclear sector. Drawing on decades of engineering expertise and adhering strictly to the sector’s inherent standards, we develop and design tailored, effective, and safe damping solutions.

The critical systems of nuclear power plants must ensure continuous operation, even under extreme conditions such as an earthquake. Our shock and vibration damping solutions isolate both mechanical and electronic components.
We protect equipment against potential seismic events. Additionally, our devices, designed to withstand all temperature conditions (from -200°C to +350°C) and humidity levels, provide long-term protection against the expansion and vibrations of structural and critical components at nuclear sites.

The sensitive and hazardous nature of nuclear fuel requires safeguarding against risks such as falls, mishandling, or other incidents that could occur during its transportation.
We therefore utilise dynamic application fields, such as compressed spring systems, rotating bridges, and cranes, to secure the high-risk transportation of nuclear fuel and the manufacture of containers within contaminated areas of power plants or externally.

Electrical and electronic equipment associated with or in proximity to the critical systems of nuclear power plants, such as motors, turbines, or alternators, are subjected to vibrations that can affect their lifespan.
Our cable dampers and elastomers provide decoupling for these components, helping to preserve their durability.
