“The concrete structures have been
reinforced densely, and they have a lot
of different kinds of cast-in components”,
Gatis Počs describes. The manufacturing
and installation tolerances of products
are extremely tight. Peikko delivers all the
fastening plates for concreting, frames for
structure openings, as well as high strength
bolts, for this project.
Počs knows that in deliveries, product
documentation is as important part of
product quality. Success in the nuclear
power industry requires strong expertise,
established operations, as well as a high
quality organization.
“I am proud to have the opportunity to
lead the Peikko team and to be involved
in this significant project that aims for
emission-free energy”.
PRODUCTION IN FINLAND AND IN
GERMANY
Raimo Lehtinen, Business Director, says that
Peikko has delivered products for nuclear
power projects for about 15 years.
“Our first big reference on the nuclear
side was the OL3 project in Finland. It was
the biggest individual project in Peikko's
history until now.”
According to Lehtinen's experience,
references are very important in the nuclear
power business. Experienced and reliable
suppliers are sought for the projects. In
these projects, a long-ranging approach
has to be taken in sales activities. Peikko
has been involved in the preparations of
the HPC project since 2008. It took nearly
10 years before the first products were
delivered at the site. Now, production
is going ahead at full force in Peikko's
factories in both Finland and Germany.
Lehtinen reveals that Peikko is also
actively involved in other nuclear power
projects.
“With our experience spanning over half
a century, we are able to supply products
and solutions for the future projects of the
world's leading nuclear power operators.
The point is not just manufacturing high
quality products, but in the specialized
expertise required by the entire project”,
he emphasizes. ●
