Precast Concrete for Nuclear & Power Infrastructure

American Concrete Products manufactures precast reinforced concrete structures for power generation, transmission and distribution facilities.

Precast applications for nuclear and small modular reactor infrastructure include equipment foundations, shielding structures, reactor cavities and underground equipment enclosures. Component configurations are based on each project’s engineering, equipment and installation requirements.

SMR Foundations & Skids

Foundations & Skids: Isometric drawing of a precast concrete equipment foundation slab with connection points around the perimeter

Precast foundations and skid support structures provide a base for equipment and reactor systems. Dimensions, reinforcement and connection details can be configured around equipment footprints, design loads and installation requirements.

Shielding Walls & Structures

Shielding Walls & Structures: Isometric drawing of modular precast concrete shielding wall panels assembled in a U-shaped configuration

Modular precast walls provide a component-based approach to shielding structure construction. Wall thickness, concrete mix requirements and connection details are determined by the project’s shielding analysis and structural design.

Reactor Cavities

Reactor Cavities: Isometric drawing of an open-top precast concrete reactor cavity enclosure

Precast reactor cavity configurations form an enclosure around reactor equipment. Component dimensions, openings and assembly details are coordinated with the reactor layout and project-specific structural requirements.

Underground Equipment Enclosures

Underground Equipment Enclosures: Isometric drawing of a two-section precast concrete underground equipment enclosure with a top access opening

Precast underground enclosures provide space for below-grade equipment and utility infrastructure. Configurations can incorporate access openings and utility penetrations, with dimensions based on equipment clearances, site conditions and installation requirements.

Renderings illustrate example configurations. Final designs and suitability depend on project-specific engineering and requirements.

Supporting Power Infrastructure

ACP also manufactures underground utility enclosures, manholes, vaults and cable trench for power infrastructure, including substations, data centers and medium- and high-voltage transmission and distribution applications.

Quality Starts with the Manufacturing Process

Clear specifications and consistent manufacturing processes support quality precast construction.

Inspection, testing, documentation and material traceability requirements are defined by the project specifications and applicable quality requirements.
