Engineering solutions from one source<br />
<strong>Siempelkamp</strong> bundles broad and well-established engineering know-how to meet customer-specifi c requirements. The starting point<br />
is the inquiry of the customer. We reply with a service package which is specifi cally customized for the customer. Engineering solutions<br />
ranging from the concept development and basic engineering to the manufacture and start-up are the results. <strong>Siempelkamp</strong> engineers<br />
are also available for plant monitoring services and inspections. Furthermore, we provide complete solutions for specifi c tasks such as<br />
for prototypes, special and individual components, and the project implementation in almost all German nuclear power plants and<br />
research facilities as well as for nuclear facilities and power plants worldwide.<br />
By combining our versatile engineering competences with our production capacities, we have become a competent partner in our area<br />
of expertise. Today, we belong to the leading providers in a growing market for the new construction, upgrading and dismantling of<br />
nuclear power plants.<br />
Dismantling systems during a test phase<br />
Engineering projects in <strong>2009</strong><br />
An important project for Engineering in <strong>2009</strong> was our contribution<br />
to the dismantling of the nuclear power plant Stade: After disposal<br />
of the spent fuel elements, the plant has been slowly phasing out<br />
since 2005. <strong>Siempelkamp</strong> was commissioned with the dismantling,<br />
disassembling, packaging and disposal tasks of the reactor pressure<br />
vessel which are part of phase III in the dismantling process.<br />
During this phase the reactor pressure vessel has to be lifted out<br />
of the reactor cavity and is disassembled in the fuel element pool<br />
after the coolant is removed. For the disassembling of the reactor<br />
pressure vessel, NIS has planned and commissioned the production<br />
of uniquely complex equipment. This includes a polar crane which<br />
transports the dismantled reactor pressure vessel segments to<br />
Konrad or MOSAIK ® containers. Currently, the start-up and complex<br />
testing of all dismantling systems is upcoming. Directly following<br />
this testing phase will be the dismantling process of the reactor<br />
pressure vessel. We will <strong>report</strong> on this procedure at a later time.<br />
The project is anticipated to be completed in November 2010.
