Small modular reactors (SMRs) offer safer, more flexible carbon-free energy. Our nuclear experts work with leading SMR companies to design, build, and test automated solutions for installing and running small module reactors. We specialize in developing remote tooling solutions that incorporate proven technologies and methodologies into new SMR design builds. Efficient and dependable tools are crucial for the safe operation of SMRs and advanced reactors.
Customer Challenges
Improving concept design while protecting budget and schedule.
Managing cost and schedule overruns in the building of new SMRs.
Reducing construction and installation time of prefabricated modules.
Ensuring worker safety in highly radiated environments.
Every nuclear reactor project is unique. Allow us to listen to your challenges and share how automation can launch your project on time.
Our Approach
Partnering with our nuclear customers, we simultaneously engineer, build, and test custom remote tooling systems and processes used in the building and operations of SMR power plants. Combining design and testing expertise with operation procedures, we help ensure SMR systems work the first time, giving teams the confidence they require.
