Owner's Engineering

This project provides specialized technical advisory in nuclear engineering skills required for the effective operation of a nuclear power plant.

This time, EUAS ICC plans to develop a nuclear power plant and achieve self-sufficiency with its operation within the next 15 years. The goal is to build institutional, human, and physical infrastructure that will support the new build project throughout its entire life cycle.

EUAS ICC as future owner and operator of the nuclear power plant, has requested support from IDOM and TÜV SÜD, to become an intelligent customer. The aim is to develop the necessary skills to manage activities related to site & structures, nuclear safety and licensing, and plant engineering.

For this purpose, and to satisfy the client needs, IDOM and TÜV SÜD have ensured the following tasks:

Development of a generic Normative Skills Matrix, identifying what kind of works are performed in each phase of an NPP new build project, from site evaluation to decommissioning, and the skills required to perform these works.
Identification and definition of the relevant macro processes essential for the Project Development organization.
Description of scope of works, roles and responsibilities of the different Contractors, and the interactions that will be needed from EUAS ICC.
Design of the project schedule where the main activities, milestones, and outputs delivery dates are established, including when EUAS ICC and the other Contractors participation is considered necessary.
Development of the templates to ensure data homogenization across all the deliverables with pilot examples of these templates.

ITER aims to demonstrate that nuclear fusion can be a viable future energy source. IDOM is participating in the Support to the Owner in ITER in partnership with two global engineering groups, Halcrow and Altran Technologies. This consortium (Energhia), provides technical assistance and independent supervision for the design and construction phases of the project. The project has a budget of €15 billion and is co-financed by several major countries and the European Union. ITER is one of the greatest technological and engineering challenges ever undertaken and it is estimated that more than 5,000 people will be directly involved in its construction.

Support to the Owner during the design and construction works for F4E in ITER Project

For the past six years, IDOM has been working on the Support to the Owner in ITER. In recent months, important progress has been made in laying the foundations for the Tokamak complex. IDOM specialists on site are involved in several areas of specialisation: HVAC, instrumentation and control, electrical, architecture, interface management and construction support. The necessary support will also be provided by IDOM’s offices during the various phases of the project, which require special dedication in order to meet the commitments.

IDOM has carried out a review of the engineering project, the assessment of compliance with ITER technical requirements and the status with regard to French nuclear regulations. IDOM is also working with Fusion for Energy (F4E) on the budget review, planning, risk assessment and other aspects of the project.

In addition, the Energhia consortium is responsible for the supervision and monitoring of the design and construction works. It also manages all on-site activities.
