The work of the mechanical and chemical cleaning of superheater dryers of the GSS type carried out by Lainsa in collaboration with Solarca during March at the French nuclear power station of Bugey has been recognised by Electricité de France (EDF) as the “Best Security Work of the first quarter of 2011″. This was part of the programme of the recognition of maintenance suppliers known as “Challenge de Sécurité 2011″.
