Wide use of Multi-D technology for Belarusian nuclear station

The Multi-D technology will be widely used for building the Belarusian nuclear power plant. The statement was made by Valery Limarenko, President of the united company OAO NIAEP – ZAO Atomstroyexport (ZAO ASE), at the 3rd international science to practice Multi-D forum Life Cycle Management of Complex Engineering Facilities. Tools for Operation Support. The forum is scheduled to take place in Moscow on 13-14 June, BelTA has learned.

According to OAO NIAEP’s estimates, the use of the Multi-D technology for controlling the construction of the Belarusian nuclear station meets interests of both the general contractor and the customer because the technology allows carrying out all the works, managing all the processes and resources in an optimal way, securing the best parameters as far as costs and commissioning schedules are concerned.

At present the technology is used to build the third and fourth power-generating units of the Rostov nuclear power plant. So-called field engineering technologies are used there. In other words, the organizational and technological solutions that have been developed using Multi-D are applied in practice. Visualization is the primary part of the field engineering approach used to build the Rostov nuclear station near the town of Volgodonsk, Rostov Oblast, Russia. Therefore, tablet computers are the primary tool of foremen at the construction site. The tablet computers are constantly plugged into the information system to be able to provide any kind of information that specialists in the field may need, including the technology of works, the composition of employed personnel and equipment, schedules, deadlines, any modifications of the design and the technology. With these tablets specialists can now take part in conferences in an interactive mode. The use of the united information system based on the Multi-D technology allows predicting results of any modifications in detail using a digital model. Optimal solutions are prompted and made at any level.

The Multi-D forum Life Cycle Management of Complex Engineering Facilities. Tools for Operation Support began in Moscow on 13 June. It gathered about 600 Russian companies and foreign ones from over 20 countries. Participants of the forum will discuss the management of the lifecycle of complex engineering installations at all stages from the design of a future nuclear power plant to the plant’s decommissioning. The technology can be used for any complex engineering facility.

Prior to the forum’s opening the organizers invited foreign delegations to visit the construction site of the Rostov nuclear power plant where the universal information system was demonstrated live.

The united company OAO NIAEP – ZAO Atomstroyexport is part of the state corporation Rosatom and is the general designer of the Belarusian nuclear power plant and the general contractor responsible for building the facility. The company is now busy building and designing over 20 power-generating units in Russia and abroad.
