Production facilities

OKB “GIDROPRESS” production facilities are an up-to-date complex where commercial production of high technology equipment for nuclear power plants is mastered to meet the most stringent requirements of nuclear safety. Over 300 highly-qualified workers and engineers perform this work.

Manufacturing is performed using over 180 units of processing equipment. Machinery includes four-axis milling machining centers, two- and three-axis turning machining centers, milling and turning numerical control machines, drilling and boring machines to make holes up to 6m in depth, universal turning, milling, drilling, grinding, heat-treating, blanking and winding machines, modern welding and inspection equipment (automatic welding machines, X-ray TV unit). A separate blanking and heat-treating shop has been put into operation. Mechanical aids are widely applied.

The machine park of the enterprise is regularly updated. The entire production process is closed at the production site of OKB "GIDROPRESS", from cutting and heat treatment of workpieces, testing of samples of semi-finished products and ending with acceptance tests of the finished product and its packaging.

The range of products runs to several tens of items (product catalog). The main products of the production divisions of OKB "GIDPROPRESS" are CPS drives SHEM-3. Production departments manufacture and modernize a wide range of test benches in accordance with their own designs, produce models, components and items for tests as well as specialized systems of commissioning measurements and in-service inspection.

Nuclear power plant equipment is manufactured meeting the requirements of quality system documents developed and applied in compliance with the ISO-9001 requirements. The following certificates were received:
Certificate DQS. Environmental managemant system.
Certificate IQNet. Environmental managemant system.

Production departments follow in their activities the requirements of more than 70 plant standards.
