July 25, 2024 - Toronto, ON & Naperville, IL – Kinectrics, a global expert in providing engineering, testing, inspection and other nuclear services, is proud to introduce its innovative Non-Metallic Repair Solutions for degraded nuclear piping.
This cutting-edge solution is a significant step forward in addressing a critical need to repair aging components within nuclear power plants. This Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) product will help add up to 50 more years to the lifespan of piping, ensuring long-term reliability of nuclear piping, thereby enhancing the safety, efficiency, and performance of nuclear facilities.
As nuclear power plants age, the integrity of piping systems must be closely monitored and well maintained. These components play a critical role in maintaining the reactor's operation, facilitating heat exchange, and ensuring safe equipment operation and reliability. Any signs of degradation must be monitored and addressed, as traditional repair methods can be complicated and expensive. This technology addresses these concerns by providing a full structural repair of the host pipe, eliminating the need for costly and time-consuming post-cure treatment.
The market impact of Kinectrics' Non-Metallic Repair Solutions is substantial, as it addresses the critical need for in-situ repair of aging nuclear infrastructure. As of last year, 95% of commercially operating nuclear plants have received license extensions to operate beyond their initial 40-year license and the need for timely, cost-effective repairs to ensure operational safety will expand. Kinectrics has developed and tested its Non-Metallic Repair Solutions in our state-of-the-art facilities and is well positioned to supply this service with our installation partner, “A&G Industrial Services”.
