Hydraulic Hoses and Subassemblies for the Nuclear Industry

With many years of experience in the design and manufacturing of complex hose assemblies, we provide reliable and secure solutions for the civil nuclear industry (nuclear power plants, emergency generator sets, etc.) as well as the defense sector (submarines, aircraft carriers, etc.).

We work in close partnership with major industry stakeholders, notably EDF and its Engineering Division UTO (Operational Technical Unit), to develop solutions that meet the highest safety standards.

Each product we develop integrates stringent safety requirements, ensuring optimal resistance to extreme operating conditions.

Solutions tailored to nuclear applications:

We offer a comprehensive range of solutions designed for various applications:
- Sleeves and expansion joints to ensure system integrity
- Hoses for engines and emergency generator sets, ensuring operational continuity in emergency situations
- Elastomeric or metallic piping systems for discharge pumps
- Cooling hoses and pipes for boiler systems
- Bent rigid tubes for fuel distribution
- Flexible air ducts for all types of ventilation systems
- TMD (Transport of Hazardous Materials) hoses for the evacuation and treatment of primary water

Our commitments to nuclear quality and safety

Our products are designed to withstand the most demanding environments, ensuring:
- Full traceability from raw material receipt to final product shipment
- Fire and seismic resistance in accordance with applicable standards
- Pressure and burst resistance verified through low- and high-pressure testing equipment
- Cleanliness compliance in accordance with RCC-M code requirements
- Certification in compliance with ESPN regulations (Nuclear Pressure Equipment)

All Tecalemit Flexibles personnel involved in this sector receive regular training in nuclear safety culture principles.

We adopt a proactive risk management approach through regular audits, documentary controls, and continuous training, ensuring that safety culture is fully embedded in our industrial practices.

Our expertise in documentation management in accordance with nuclear standard

For each new project, a dedicated team is established in order to:
- Analyze all applicable technical and regulatory specifications
- Design the required components and create associated equipment drawings
- Prepare ITPs (Inspection and Test Plans) for each item
- Draft testing and inspection procedures as well as manufacturing records
- Lead the main project milestones: Kick-Off Meeting (KOM), FMEA
- Organize and supervise on-site inspections prior to shipment
- Compile Final Manufacturing Reports (FMR)

Tecalemit Flexibles integrates strict nuclear safety requirements into the manufacturing of its hydraulic hoses, ensuring resistance, reliability, protection against FME (Foreign Material Exclusion), and chemical compatibility with sector-specific fluids.

We apply rigorous qualification and traceability protocols in accordance with applicable standards, including ESPN (Nuclear Pressure Equipment).
