NUCLEAR POWER PROJECT
With delays due to various problems with planning, supervision, and workmanship, AWith delays due to various problems with planning, supervision, and workmanship, Aquila Forensics’ professionals were involved in the forensic and technical analysis on a European nuclear power station, considered to be one of the largest of its kind in the world at the time with the total building volume of ~1,000,000 m3.
PROJECT
A major nuclear power plant built on an island, which consists of two Boiling Water Reactors (BWRs) producing 880 MW and 890 MW of electricity and an EPR reactor, with an annual net output of 14,268 GW/h. According to some estimates, the reactor could be the fifth most expensive structure in the world.
Issues included irregularities in the foundation concrete, heavy forgings not up to project standards and issues constructing the reactor’s unique double-containment structure. Our experts were able to provide detailed forensics investigations into the significant costs incurred in the production of the facility and attribute them accordingly to the various contended heads of claim.
