[UKPRwire, Tue May 01 2007] Hayward Tyler Group Ltd – a leading manufacturer, supplier and service repairer of pumps and motors – is pleased to announce that its Services Division (HTS) has been awarded a contract worth over £100,000 to design and implement a Diverse Trip System for the Sizewell B nuclear power station.
The design – Diverse Trip System – is based on an electronic over-speed trip for both A & B auxiliary turbine driven feed pumps that function within 2 seconds on demand should the existing mechanical trip system fails. The design for the corresponding pipe work has to comply with ASME Class III-ND 1983 edition guidelines and is therefore heavily driven by a stringent and high level of quality in mind.
Neil Langdown, General Manager of Hayward Tyler Services, said:
“We are delighted to have been awarded the contract. Sizewell B is the UK’s only large pressurised water reactor (PWR) and the first we have serviced. We look forward to the project”.
Sizewell B is capable of supplying over 1.5 million homes and the station supplies 3% of the UK’s entire electricity needs.
The project end-date for the commissioning of this system is 30th October 2007.
