Core service features:
Successful development of new nuclear facilities can only be
accomplished by incorporating the requirements of all key
contributors
- Layout development process incorporates input from customer's,
the whole Engineering community, Plant Operators, Safety,
Constructability, Plant Efficiency Modelling, Regulators etc
- Building Flow Diagram (BFD) workshops, ensure that early design
development is focused and well founded. The BFD process
facilitates an early appreciation of how individual facilities must
integrate with a site's strategic 'big picture,' before moving onto
any form of design development.
Decommissioning or modifying existing facilities presents an
even greater challenge than designing new facilities. Babcock
utilizes its proven new-build processes, but with additional
features such as:
- Establishing the optimum balance between new-build / extensions
and utilising existing space / equipment.
- Minimising modifications to the existing facility
- Maximising reuse of plant and equipment
- Rezoning space for new purposes
