The United Kingdom aims for carbon neutrality by 2050 and seeks to accelerate the development of nuclear energy. It has therefore approved the project to replicate Hinkley Point C at the Sizewell site. This project includes the construction of two pressurised water reactors of the EPR type with a total capacity of 3.2 GW. Thanks to their expertise on the Hinkley Point C plant, the Ingerop teams have been commissioned, through a framework agreement, to carry out the detailed civil engineering studies for four nuclear island buildings dedicated to effluent storage and control, utilities, waste treatment and storage.

The scope of the studies is as follows:

• Global calculations (soil-structure interaction, building modelling, reinforcement detailing),
• Local calculations (rebar detailing),
• Creation of 3D models (formwork and reinforcement).

At its 650-hectare Tricastin site, one of the largest in Europe, the Orano group wants to renew its facilities for treating uranium effluent from the site’s activities. The Ingerop teams, thanks to their expertise in nuclear processes, have researched and proposed several innovative equipment solutions:

• analysis of various evaporation technologies and their compatibility with uranium-containing effluents to select the industrial evaporator that will reduce the annual treatment volume by a factor of five,
• sizing, energy efficiency optimisation and safety assessment for filter press filtration technologies. The main challenge is automating the system and improving radiation protection for the operators.

EMT Madrid wanted to equip its depot with electric charging stations to strengthen the infrastructure needed for operating zero-emission vehicles. Our subsidiary Evectra was selected for its expertise in electrical engineering for the final three phases of the project:

• phase 2 – Electrification of 52 buses with 7.5 MVA electrical connection. Installation of two underground transformer centres (5,000 kVA each), a lowvoltage busbar system, and a 333 kWp photovoltaic power plant,
• phase 3 – electrification of 118 buses with the installation of two new transformer centers, an upgraded low-voltage system, and a 696 kWp photovoltaic power plant,
• phase 4 – extension for 60 buses including adaptation of the medium-voltage ring, a new transformer centre, reinforcement of the low-voltage system, and a photovoltaic power plant 333.

This project embodies a commitment to developing integrated solutions that facilitate the energy transition and contribute to sustainable, innovative transport.

Refhyne 2 is a European initiative aimed at demonstrating the industrial feasibility of large-scale green hydrogen production, particularly for the mobility and industrial sectors.

This project focuses on producing hydrogen through water electrolysis powered by solar and wind energy, integrating it into the Shell refinery located in Wesseling, a suburb of Cologne, Deutschland.

Ingerop Deutschland is responsible for the design of buildings, infrastructure, and utilities for this European green hydrogen production demonstrator with a capacity of 100 MW.

After successfully completing an first initial four-year mission, CEA DAM has renewed its trust in Ingerop with a new framework contract, in partnership with Tractebel and Assystem. The mission remains unchanged: to carry out design studies, renovation and creation of new complex and unique facilities (storage, manufacturing, maintenance) as well as scientific ones (data centers, research & development units, etc.).

The Ingerop teams will be specifically responsible for project management, industrial architecture, coordination and BIM, civil engineering, roadworks and utilities (VRD), geotechnics and handling mechanics.

Organised into dedicated workspaces near the CEA in Bruyères-le-Châtel, they will be best positioned to meet the client’s requests.
