Precise engineering solutions

In keeping with their objective of ‘harnessing the latest technology to improve delivery of training skills’, the National College for Nuclear (NCfN) at Bridgwater & Taunton College wanted to develop a learning environment that could replicate a nuclear plant in microcosm. This would need to allow students to experience the demands of the nuclear workplace, enabling them to practise industry operations & behaviours away from the ‘Licensed Environment’. Design of this Practical Reactor Activity Centre was to be based on a twin flow loop of hot & cold water. It would demonstrate thermodynamic principles on a closed loop system (similar to a nuclear power station) and incorporate the appropriate functional controls and instrumentation. To underpin ‘real life’ context, the final…

After completing the required tender, Berry & Escott engineering were selected to complete works on a local site. The brief was to assist in design for high level access platforms, one to be located in a corridor style area. Concrete hole protection and handrails on other areas of the site.

Berry & Escott engineering were approached by a company with requirements for a machinery access platform.
