Seismically Qualified Modular Panel Containment Enclosure for Use in a Moderately Hazard Environment
Customer: Lockwood Greene Architectural Engineers/ MK-Ferguson of Oak Ridge Company, Martin Marietta as Purchasing Agent
Site: Y-12 Plant, Oak Ridge, Advanced Laser Isotope Separation (AVLIS)
Project Scope:
AVLIS prototype testing requires a large isotope containment enclosure. Containment enclosure to meet seismic load requirements for Oak Ridge site and be easily assembled and deconnable.
Requirements:
-Containment certified to meet 0.4 inches water column negative pressure and have maximum in-situ air infiltration of less than 300CFM.
-Automatic air damper system to preclude leakage upon power loss.
-On-site compliance certification testing required for air tightness.
Project Performance:
NFS-RPS designs and delivers a modular panel enclosure measuring 16' Wide x 28' Long x 12' High.
-Modular panels are modified to incorporate seismic bracing to meet site criteria.
-Pneumatic damper control system for power failure closure of air dampers.
-Welding performed IAW AWS Structural Welding Code D1.1 (Certified Welders)
-Certificate of compliance issued after successful on-site testing.
