EPR construction at Hinkley Point C

Preparation, Precision, Performance: DIEPCM at the service of the EPR

DIEPCM manages preheating and post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) operations on the secondary circuit of the EPR currently under construction at Hinkley Point C.

This circuit, a key element of the installation, transports high-pressure steam to the Arabelle turbine, the world’s largest steam turbine, for electricity generation.

As part of this project, the DIEPCM team is concentrating on implementing technical solutions that guarantee the quality and reliability of the welds, while complying with stringent nuclear safety requirements. Hinkley Point C recently published a video showing the progress of the worksite and the installation of its major components – further proof of the strategic and technological importance of this new power plant.

COBA DGS System Qualification - EagleBurgmann

From Prototype to Validation: DIEPCM pushes COBA DGS to conquer TSO stations

DIEPCM represents EagleBurgmann as project manager for the implementation of a COBA DGS mechanical seal, manufactured in Germany.

This mission involves the international coordination of three departments, with the aim of ensuring the conformity and qualification of the complete system on a TSO station.

Within this framework, DIEPCM piloted the first qualification solution for this device with a view to its installation on a new station. Thanks to this intervention, GRT gaz benefits from tailor-made technical support and project management, guaranteeing compliance with performance and safety requirements.

This first installation of COBA DGS paves the way for the potential equipping of all the substations concerned, as part of the development and modernization of the GRT network.

This project bears witness to DIEPCM’s ability to carry out demanding missions involving several players and strict regulatory requirements.

Project Engineering by Selim DUBOIS - EagleBurgmann

Follow-up of a high-stakes offshore gas compression project

Since March 2025, Selim DUBOIS has been acting as Project Engineer for EagleBurgmann on a critical international contract involving the supply of two 4-stage offshore gas compressors. This mission is part of ADNOC’s Umm Shaif offshore expansion, a large-scale development aiming to increase production from 275,000 to 390,000 barrels per day by 2027, ensuring sustained capacity until at least 2036.

Operating in a demanding offshore environment with high concentrations of H₂S, the project required strict engineering measures. To secure reliability:

99.9% purity Nitrogen (N₂) is used as barrier gas to prevent H₂S oxidation and sulfur deposits.
Inconel sealing components, costly and Long Lead Items, were pre-ordered to reduce procurement risks.

Scope of mission

Coordination of the Kick-Off Meeting with EagleBurgmann’s international teams (Germany – design/procurement/testing, India – drawings/procedures).
Supervision of the advance order of Inconel, securing availability and mitigating delivery delays.
Follow-up on General Arrangement Drawings, test procedures, and ITP approvals in line with client feedback.
Technical review of H₂S oxidation impact reports during design discussions between stakeholders.

Thanks to his close monitoring, Selim accelerated the project timeline, gaining 10 weeks on delivery schedules and ensuring supplier alignment with client expectations.

This ongoing project involves the delivery of 1×8 Dry Gas Seals and 1×12 Dry Gas Seals for the compressors, reinforcing DIEPCM and EagleBurgmann’s ability to lead complex offshore oil & gas projects, anticipate risks, and secure critical-path items for ADNOC’s strategic objectives.

Project Management – COMPOSITEC (ex-FORVIA)

Electrical cabinet depollution & recabling – Automotive sector

Since July 2025, Selim DUBOIS has been leading a technical project at COMPOSITEC (formerly FORVIA), specialized in automotive solutions. The mission focused on the depollution, recabling, and securing of painting line electrical cabinets, a critical step to ensure safety and operational reliability in an ATEX environment.

Project Scope

Depollution of one main cabinet and removal of obsolete links between old and new automation systems.
Disconnection and removal of 7 electrical sub-cabinets.
Recabling, schematization, and securing of 5 mixers in a dedicated annex cabinet.
Troubleshooting and diagnostic interventions on the painting line (including night shifts for cause-effect analysis between PLCs, Profibus and Ethernet connections).

Project Phases

Engineering – analysis of existing electrical schematics, identification of solutions, and preparation of recabling plan.
Execution – dismantling, removal of components, cabling in ATEX area, and installation of the annex cabinet.
Testing – verification of functional integrity and safety compliance.

Achievements

Streamlined the electrical architecture of the painting line.
Enhanced safety and compliance in ATEX zone.
Secured operations of 5 mixers with reliable recabling.

This mission demonstrates Selim’s ability to coordinate engineering, execution, and testing phases, ensuring safety, compliance, and operational reliability for complex industrial environments.
