NUCLEAR AND CHEMICAL DECONTAMINATION...

SOGEDEC combines the expertise of decontamination techniques (foams, ultrasounds, ultra-high pressure, etc.) with control of the latest regulatory developments.

SOGEDEC works in all the risk environments: nuclear, biological, chemical, etc.

DISMANTLING AND NUCLEAR DECONSTRUCTION

SOGEDEC is the top ranking company in nuclear dismantling in France and has built on its experience feedback at the operational level and its knowledge of the facilities to perform technically and financially optimised services.

Our customers are keener and keener on deconstructing their nuclear facilities up to the "green field". SOGEDEC  supports this change by systematically searching for concrete solutions in terms of sustainable development with for instance:

• Transformation of heavy construction means into electrical machinery to avoid the disamenities of thermal machinery.
• Proposal of innovative solutions to reduce the volume of waste such as the SOGETER process, heat treatment process stemming from our R&D.

A FEW EXAMPLES OF RECENT ACHIEVEMENTS

• Dismantling and demolition of STED (Station de Traitement des Effluents et des Déchets
• Waste and Effluent Treatment Station) CEA Grenoble
• Decommissioning of a section of the SICN Veurey site (AREVA)
• Dismantling of a section of the MaPu facilities on the AREVA La Hague site
• Disassembly of the peripheral units of building 214 of the Pilot plant at CEA Marcoule (APM)
• Dismantling of the TU2 building at AREVA Pierrelatte
  

ASBESTOS REMOVAL

SOGEDEC, backed by its years of experience and armed with recognised certification, performs removal services of CMR materials and products in extreme environments. In particular, in 1987, we received the "classified facilities prize" from the Ministry of Environment.
- Friable asbestos: Flocking, thermal insulation, isolation of industrial equipment, etc.
- Non-friable asbestos: floor rings, elements made from asbestos-cement, outer facing of the building, etc.
- Other products: Refractory ceramic fibres, Arsenic, Lead, etc.
- Dust removal and pollution abatement with specific risk: Arsenic, asbestos, meat and bone meal, biological, etc.
We work in all activity sectors: Construction, industry, nuclear industry, hospitals on behalf of private and public sector customers.

A few references: ASCOMETAL furnace (Fos-sur-Mer) Château Borely (Marseilles) Demolition/Asbestos Removal HENKEL plant (St-Fargeau-Ponthierry) residential buildings (Vitry-Sur-Seine) SNCF and RATP rolling stock.

Project in progress: Dust removal of the MICHELIN plant in VANNES, Asbestos Removal of the prison for men in Fleury Merogis, asbestos removal of 2 mining sites in NIGER.

ASSETS AND KNOW-HOW

Control of work methodologies and adapted and proven tools in the nuclear sector.

Our approach gears us toward services combining dismantling and total decommissioning of facilities by ensuring compliance with environmental requirements.

Adaptation and anticipation are key factors of our past, present and future successes:
We participated in the first nuclear facility decommissioning operations in France. We continued with total deconstruction operations of buildings and associated soil treatment (return to green field) for CEA.
We will be ready for the green field of AREVA plant and EDF nuclear power plants!

Our safety culture: Constant vigilance is required to fight against risky situations. SOGEDEC communicates to a great extent on these topics through text messages and by broadcasting safety bulletins to all its employees. Safety management training courses are organised on a regular basis for supervising staff. Several safety talks and visits allow the employees to immerse themselves in good practices.
