Sweco to improve safety at the Ringhals nuclear power plant

Sweco has been awarded a major contract to modernise the electric power systems
at the Ringhals nuclear power plant. The assignment is part of an effort to
continuously improve safety in the facility. The contract is valued at over EUR
10.6 million.
“In view of the rigorous safety requirements for nuclear power plants today, it
is a great honour to be entrusted with total responsibility for modernising the
electric power systems at Ringhals,” says Erik Severin, President of Sweco
Energuide.

The project will entail comprehensive upgrading of the internal electric power
systems in Ringhals reactor 1. Work will be carried out as a collaborative
effort between Sweco and Ringhals in which Sweco has been assigned total
responsibility for engineering design, testing and implementation of the new
systems. Sweco will contribute wide-ranging technical expertise and in addition
to electric power consultants, will also provide ventilation and calculation
experts.

“This is a long-term initiative and will create a good platform for us to
recruit new employees. We expect to have over 20 employees working on the
project over the next few years,” says Erik Severin.

The project is scheduled for completion at the end of 2016.
