CNCI - Canales Nuclear & Civil Infrastrusture 

EXPERTISE

Nuclear Civil, Structural & Seismic Engineering

CNCI provides civil, structural and seismic design and analysis for safety-classified reinforced-concrete and steel structures in nuclear and accelerator facilities, from concept development through detailed design and assessment.

Assignments are tailored to the safety classification, structural function and applicable regulatory and project-specific design basis.


Typical scope


Seismic analysis

Soil–structure interaction

Floor response spectra

Structural dynamics

Heavy shielding structures

Machine and turbine foundations

Impact and extreme-load assessment

Codes & standards

Eurocodes (EN 1990–EN 1998) with national annexes, AFCEN RCC-CW, ACI 349, ASME BPVC Section III Division 2 (ACI 359), ANSI/AISC N690 (including steel-plate composite walls), ASCE/SEI 4 and ASCE/SEI 43, KTA 2201, DIN 25449, and EN 15129 / EN 1337-3 for seismically isolated structures.

Typical deliverables

Design bases 

Calculation notes 

FE models

Load-combination reports 

Structural design reports 

Licensing-support documentation

Owner's Engineer & Independent Technical Review

ACNCI provides owner-side engineering and independent technical review to help clients define requirements, challenge design decisions and accept vendor and contractor deliverables on a technically informed basis.

Support can extend from site screening and FEED through design development, licensing interfaces and project implementation.


Typical scope


Site screening and selection

FEED and design requirements

Independent design review

Licensing support

Intelligent Customer capability

Quality planning and ISO 9001 / ISO 19443 readiness

Typical deliverables

Review reports 

Requirement specifications  

Comment-resolution records 

Technical position papers 

Training and technical briefings

Integrated Facility & Architectural Design

CNCI develops building and facility solutions in which architecture, structures, shielding, equipment, safety and operational requirements must be coordinated from the outset.

The focus is functional integration of technically demanding facilities rather than stand-alone architectural design.


Typical scope


Facility layouts

Building concepts

Structural and architectural coordination

Shielding integration

Equipment and maintenance interfaces

Operational and logistics studies

Typical deliverables

Layouts 

Building concepts 

Integration studies 

Interface drawings 

Coordination models 

Design notes
