Viesgo has awarded Tecnatom a contract for the diagnosis of the facility’s motor-operated valves.
Tecnatom specialises in the valve diagnosis (motor and air-operated and check valves) and serves the nuclear sector. In recent years, Tecnatom has performed valve diagnosis during refuelling outages at the Laguna Verde (Mexico), Angra (Brazil) and Tihange (Belgium) plants and at all the Spanish nuclear power plants, and has also supplied diagnosis technology to the Dukovany (Slovakia) and Loviisa (Finland) plants.
The Los Barrios thermal plant is located in the Spanish province of Cádiz and has a rated power output of 567 MWe. Viesgo, the plant owner company, is carrying out an investment project amounting to more than EUR 65M for maintenance and updating of the plant systems, the aim being to position the facility at the forefront in Europe.
