A look back at the success of Onet Technologies' first year at the Centraco plant!

Since December 2022, the consortium comprisingOnet Technologies and its partners Netman and Kaefer Wanner has been working on the Centraco plant on behalf of Cyclife France, an EDF subsidiary.

Nearly 20 Onet Technologies employees work every day to contribute to the success of this Nuclear Logistics service, which is due to run until 2027, with a two-year extension option until 2029.

 

Focus on the Centraco plant

Centraco (Centre nucléaire de traitement et de conditionnement) is a plant managed by Cyclife France, an EDF subsidiary.

Since 1999, this plant has specialized in solutions for the treatment and packaging of radioactive waste.

Centraco uses two processes: smelting and incineration. Every year, over 600 tonnes of scrap metal enter the melting furnace, while 4,000 tonnes of radioactive waste are incinerated.

 

The tasks entrusted to Onet Technologies
on Centraco's services

The consortium, for which Onet Technologies is the main contact, has various tasks to carry out at the Centraco plant as part of this service:

  • scaffolding erection and insulation ;
  • cleaning and linen management ;
  • nuclear logistics ;
  • internal waste management ;
  • sanitation of tanks and containers.

Onet Technologies' teams are in charge of logistics, conventional waste disposal, internal controlled zone waste, sanitation, and container tank cleaning...

 

The successful collaboration between Onet Technologies, Netman and Kaefer Wanner was praised by Cyclife France, which now benefits from tailor-made solutions to meet its needs.

The customer is very satisfied with the hand-in-hand work of the 40-strong group. Our cooperation is based on trust and transparency, and we've been able to offer the best possible service right from the start of the contract.

What are the highlights
of this first year?


The success of this first year was marked by :

✅ Safety and security: no major events to report on the perimeter. Close collaboration between the teams and the customer has enabled us to address weak safety and security signals in order to anticipate risks.


✅ Internal waste management: new practices in the management of internal waste, produced by the Centraco plant, have been successfully introduced. These practices range from waste collection, through advice to producers, to dismantling.


✅ Operational performance: the teams successfully managed three technical shutdowns, two of them fortuitous, of the incineration unit and one technical shutdown of the fusion unit during this first year. The teams' ability to adapt to change and their responsiveness were greatly appreciated.


✅ Group management: the synergy between the three companies was highlighted by Cyclife France, which deals with a single contact for the group, Raphaël Guigou, who has established a balance with his partners and the customer.

 

Congratulations to the entire team
on this project!

Adaptability, responsiveness and operational excellence have laid a solid foundation for this nuclear logistics contract. Onet Technologies' teams aim to build on this momentum, improving our service year after year!
