High integrity duct seals for the UK Atomic Weapons Establishment

High integrity duct seals for the UK Atomic Weapons Establishment

Checkmate Flexible Engineering was approached by the Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) about a new project. They required temporary duct seals for use in a highly contaminated environment.

CFE not only successfully designed and built a set of seals, but also had to exactly replicate the section of the equipment in which they would be used, in order that working conditions could be replicated. A test standard was developed and agreed with AWE technical staff.
