European Enterprise Awards 2023

Its modularity makes it possible not only to replace defective components, but also to combine and expand the machines. For example, BRAUN Decommissioning Technologies’ drill rig can be expanded into a plunge-cut or wire saw. Meanwhile, its wall saw can be expanded into a wall milling machine or wire saw. Furthermore, BRAUN Decommissioning Technologies is unique for its ability to create holistic solutions to solve a number of challenges. The company most often faces three key issues: radioactivity, limited dismantling possibilities due to factors like lack of space, and materials that are difficult to dismantle. For this reason, the company works to create holistic solutions, aiming to ensure that the right tool is used to cut the right material, that the machine is adapted to the tool and the environment, and that the operators are able to use the machine correctly. This may involve manufacturing special designs for certain projects, developing tools suitable for use under water and remotely, and offering training to clients’ operating personnel. For its outstanding work in the field of dismantling nuclear and conventional facilities, BRAUN Decommissioning Technologies has been awarded the title of Best Specialist Decommissioning/ Decontamination Tech Company, Europe, in the European Enterprise Awards 2023. In the first half of this year, the business looks forward to two interesting projects. The first will involve providing an internal pipe cutter for the dismantling of a German nuclear power plant. As part of the other, it will deliver two wall saws on a carrier for the dismantling of a contaminated wall in a Canadian nuclear facility.
