In certain applications is required the verification of the correct functioning of the equipment under certain vibration conditions, or during/after a seismic event, for which it is necessary to perform a seismic qualification process.
NUCLEONOVA executes seismic qualification processes by means of analytical justification, numerical modelling or performing tests reproducing the required vibration conditions.
Throughout NUCLEONOVA’s trajectory, seismic qualification processes have been performed on different equipment, using the available methods, and under the required regulations, being able to guarantee the correct documentation of the qualification under any requirement.
