Problem

Provide full and safe access to EDF technicians required to carry out repeated tasks on sensors in this EDF nuclear research and development centre.

• Another problem is the very specific shape of the assemblies to be made safe, consisting of a set of large pipes nested within each other.
• The requirement to be located as close as possible to the structures where scaffolding is to be erected to ensure 100% safety of EDF employees.

Solution

This use of components that are mostly used in the construction industry is a case which opens the way to new, highly industrial solutions.

Tubesca-Comabi proposed a multi-directional structure solution, the only one capable of being moulded as closely as possible to the shapes involved.
