Fully conversant with the UK nuclear design codes and practises and widely recognised as being Suitably Qualified and Experienced Personnel (SQEP), PDL engineers have provided complementary advanced engineering support on some of the most technically demanding nuclear decommissioning and life extension projects over the past decade.

Positioned as a leading provider of complementary high-end engineering design and analysis support services to predominantly the engineering teams within the prime contractor organisations, PDL engineers have a proven track record in the successful delivery of multi-disciplined engineering support within the following niche application areas, for both new and aging plant, equipment items and civil structures:

Structural analysis – Seismic – Equivalent static analysis
Structural analysis – Seismic – Response spectrum analysis
Structural analysis – Seismic – Linear dynamic analysis
Structural analysis – Seismic – Non-linear static analysis
Structural analysis – Seismic – Non-linear dynamic analysis
Structural analysis – Impact – Dropped object

Computational Fluid Dynamics – Design validation of high temperature processes
Computational Fluid Dynamics – Design validation of multiphase encapsulation processes
Computational Fluid Dynamics – Design validation of power fluidics
Geotechnical analysis – Soils & Structure Interactions
Independent Technical Assessment (ITA)

PDL provides complementary engineering support to clients operating within the four main system areas of:

1. Mechanical Engineering (including package design, remote handling, lifting and storage)
2. Process Engineering (including fluidisation, retrieval, segregation, size reduction, encapsulation, wastewater treatment and ventilation)
3. Control, Electrical & Instrumentation (EC&I)
4. Civil Structural & Architectural (CS&A)

And the PDL engineering capability is aligned to support both the design and the safety case tasks associated with an atypical nuclear decommissioning, life extension or nuclear new build project.

To see how the PDL engineering design and analysis capability can complement your in-house engineering expertise, contact one of our engineers on T: 01 434 609 473 to arrange a free and confidential exploratory meeting. Alternatively, send your initial enquiry and contact details to solutions@pdl-group.com and we will contact you by return.
