Assistance Throughout the Nuclear Power Plant’s Lifecycle
SOCOTEC teams are by your side during the construction and development of your nuclear plant, sharing our civil engineering expertise and providing support to your technical and engineering departments.
We offer a variety of services including hazardous studies and risk analyses, simulations, technical inspecting and drafting, management and implementation of document procedures, all of which help you carry out construction while controlling quality, costs and deadlines and ensuring certification and regulations are met.
For continued site operation, we provide consultancy, regulatory and contractual inspections, both on and off-site, supervision of mechanical, electrical and instrumentation and control (I&C) activities and non-destructive testing, including surface, volume and leakage checks and corrosion studies. SOCOTEC also provides assistance with nuclear waste disposal, through the use of technical inspections, waste and zoning studies and calculations and simulations.

Talk to our experts
"One of the iconic project that I am working on and in which SOCOTEC has been involved for a very long time is CGO. CGO is a nuclear waste repository that is going to be constructed 5 hundred meters underground. Our involvement in that project at SOCOTEC is about seven years old. The dimension is amazing and the coordination between partners is fruitful and powerful."
