NUCLEAR AND CHEMICAL DECONTAMINATION...

SOGEDEC brings together expertise in decontamination techniques (foams, ultrasound, ultra-high pressure…) and mastery of the latest regulatory demands.

SOGEDEC operates in all high-risk environments: nuclear, biological, chemical…

ASBESTOS REMOVAL

SOGEDEC has been carrying out asbestos removal operations for many years and received, notably, the 'Classified Installations Award' in 1987 from the Environment Ministry:

• Friable asbestos: flocking, insulating, oven isolation…
• Removal of cladding.

We intervene in all sectors of activity, including railways since 2003. Our operations concern the renovation or demolition of carriages. A typical operation takes place in five stages:

• Stripping: complete dismantling of the carriage interior: seats, partitions, floors...
• Confinement: complete isolation of the wagon and installation of an airlock for access to avoid any asbestos getting out,
• Asbestos removal: via mechanical action (sandblasting, pneumatic needle drill, chipping hammer…) or chemical stripping of asbestos present in the form of vibration reducing mastic,
• Waste packaging in airtight bags before disposal in a Class 1 waste tip,
• Final verification of absence of asbestos fibre.

Our teams have been able to adapt their experience in construction and industry to the treatment of rolling stock.

NUCLEAR AND CONVENTIONAL DECOMMISSIONING

Leader in France for nuclear decommissioning, SOGEDEC builds on its feedback from operational experience and its knowledge of facilities to provide technically and financially optimised service performance.

STRONG POINTS AND EXPERTISE

Our strong points are the mastery of operational methodologies and tooling adapted to and tested in the nuclear environment.

Our expertise in hostile environments means we can guarantee the respect of environmental constraints for our operations in conventional industrial environments.

SOME EXAMPLES OF OUR WORK

• Dismantling of intermediate screws in the Stripping building of COGEMA in Marcoule,
• Dismantling of a production line at TARKETT SOMME,
• Robotised decontamination of reinforced cells of the LECA building at CEA Cadarache.
