Over the last two years, Applus+ in Canada has been executing a significant portion of the Major Component Replacement Project (MCR) for Shoreline Power Group (United Engineers & Constructors, SNC Lavalin, and Aecon Inc.) at one of the largest power facilities in North America. Our team of nuclear NDT experts utilized Rayscan RAZAR (Reduced Area Zone Automated Radiography), a breakthrough radiography technology that provides a small radiation exclusion zone of under 1.5m (5 feet), industry-leading image quality, and never-before-seen production cycle time.e.
Prior to the use of RAZAR, Applus+ utilized Small Containment Area Radiography (SCAR) as the leading technology to perform a volumetric examination for small-diameter primary heat transport pipes. Our experts worked tirelessly to further innovate and adopt a new system to secure greater efficiency and consistency, better image quality, and extremely small radiation exclusion zones to allow other labour groups in the area to continue performing their work.
This project demanded rigorous planning, exceptionally trained NDE technicians, and above all, innovative technology to efficiently perform the work with a high degree of quality and radiation safety. The completion date for the scope is planned for the end of 2023.
Great strides have been achieved since the commencement of the project. So far, comments from client representatives who’ve witnessed the work performed by our experts have been very positive.
