A significant challenge for our client and for our human and technical team, due to the limited space for manoeuvre and the requirement for manual treatment of the surface. This method <strong>prevented further corrosion and the costly unscheduled stoppage of the equipment<\/strong> for repair work that had become inevitable due to wall thinning.<\/p>\n<p>This is the third award presented to us by EDF after the \u201cPrevention of Occupational Risks\u201d award for the work at the Blayais Nuclear Power Plant in 2013 and the \u201cBest Safety Work\u201d awarded in 2011 for the works carried out at the Bugey Nuclear Power Plant. It adds to the recent recognition from our client for the metallisation project at the Civaux Nuclear Power Plant in France.<\/p>\n<p>The most highly rated aspects for this award were:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Maintenance of the continuous ventilation systems of the reactor building.<\/li>\n<li>Well-defined works area, clean and tidy.<\/li>\n<li>Good management of risks related to working in confined spaces.<\/li>\n<li>Good risk management in the handling of suspended loads.<\/li>\n<li>Good management of fire risk.<\/li>\n<li>Correct use of PPE.<\/li>\n<li>No reported safety incident.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The main achievements on this project were the technical solution and the safety and quality of the work, adapting to the needs and difficulties of the project. This has been demonstrated by the public commendation from our client, EDF, through the safety award that it has presented to us.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-4971 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/07\/thumbnail-1-1024x513.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"376\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/07\/thumbnail-1-1024x513.png 1024w, https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/07\/thumbnail-1-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/07\/thumbnail-1-768x385.png 768w, https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/07\/thumbnail-1.png 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sorry, this entry is only available in Espa\u00f1ol.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":4970,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[78,82],"tags":[72],"class_list":["post-4969","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-servicios-nucleares","category-tratamiento-de-superficies","tag-fr"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4969","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4969"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4969\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4984,"href":"https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4969\/revisions\/4984"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4970"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4969"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4969"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4969"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
