Problem

Manual welding is not an option, a remote controlled welding repair method is required that ful fills the stringent quality requirements of the "nuclear island" in a nuclear power plant

Solution

Uddcomb developed a customized, advanced remote controlled mechanized welding equipment capable of performing the necessary repairs remotely. This technology enabled precise welding operations without requiring human presence in the high-radiation "hot" area.

Outcome

Uddcomb's remote welding technology ensured the safe and effective repair of critical components within the nuclear power plant. This approach minimized radiation exposure risks to personnel while maintaining high repair quality and operational integrity in a hazardous environment.
