Nuclear inerting and obturation

Our robotic inerting and obturation solution enables the maintenance of sensitive nuclear pipework. OMS crawlers deploy technology containing a bespoke inerting bladder that seals an opening. Once the bladder is in place, primary pipework can be cleaned or otherwise maintained safely. Once maintenance has taken place, the crawler returns to collect the bladder. Further to this, our obturation module includes deployment of a second bladder and the injection of argon gas.

In projects where the pipework requires inspection, laser and camera scans can take place before the bladder is put into place.

Features:

- Deployment via tried-and-tested AGILITY crawlers

- Fully qualified for nuclear environments

- Effective solution to a complex problem

- Solution developed by OMS R&D team – can be adapted according to customer requirements
