Nuclear Power Plants & Energy Facilities
ASME NQA-1 certified quality assurance, safety-critical engineering, and independent verification for nuclear power plants including Hinkley Point C and major energy facilities.
Uncompromising Nuclear Quality Assurance
Nuclear power plant construction and upgrades represent the most safety-critical infrastructure projects in the world. From new build facilities to legacy plant modifications, nuclear projects demand absolute precision in quality assurance, comprehensive documentation, and unwavering compliance with international safety standards. VSG brings ASME NQA-1 certified expertise to every aspect of nuclear facility engineering and construction.
Our experience on the Hinkley Point C project—one of the most stringent nuclear construction programs globally—demonstrates our capability to deliver on projects where safety is paramount and regulatory oversight is intensive. We've coordinated with the Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR), managed ASME Section III compliance, and led independent verification programs for safety-critical systems that protect public health and environmental integrity.
Nuclear facilities present unique engineering challenges: seismic design requirements, radiation protection protocols, containment verification, emergency system testing, and comprehensive traceability of every material and process. Our team brings specialized knowledge of nuclear codes, standards, and regulatory frameworks. We understand the complex interplay between design requirements, construction quality, and operational safety that makes nuclear projects distinctly demanding.
