Welding container: Its autonomy and independence ensure the flexibility demanded by your mobile, stationary or relocatable construction sites. Other available solutions: road system, fix container system, suspended welder... 5
STATIONARY & RELOCATABLE LWR PLANTS For over 14 years now, RSS has successfully been delivering to customers stationary plants with : High production rates High automation level Very limited manpower requirements High-level quality-control procedures Welds conform to the highest international standards This technical expertise in the production of LWR gives RSS an extra competitive edge, while enabling to offer a custom-design solution matching each requirement. Relocatable LWR plants are also possible thanks to RSS special inhouse design. 6
STATIONARY & RELOCATABLE LWR PLANTS Range of solutions for stationary & relocatable plants: Individual equipment: Welders and their auxiliaries Preparation & finishing equipment (automatic, semi-automatic or manual) Auxiliary equipment (marking, post weld heat treatment, slow bend press, dedicated generator, non-destructive test systems, etc...) Conveying line Short rails and LWR handling systems Complete technological line: including machinery, conveying line, automation and interlocks Complete turnkey plant: including technological line, civil engineering, buildings, handling systems for short rails and LWR, etc 7
MOBILE LWR PLANT : THE WELDING TRAIN To meet a constantly evolving demand, RSS recently developed an innovative solution : the welding train. The welding train combines quality & productivity of a stationary plant and flexibility of a mobile system: Production equipment identical to a stationary plant Welds quality conform to the highest standards High productivity rate Stand-alone plant with dedicated generator set Quick implementation of production 100% relocatable: no civil works required 8
