Every nuclear power plant is a high-impact, high-risk facility. To keep it safe and operational without posing radioactive risks to staff and the surrounding community, plant owners and operators must stay vigilant with their operations and deploy state-of-the-art control and safety equipment that can optimally monitor and maintain the quality and condition of the instruments.

This is where a high-technology instrumentation firm, like Sartrex, with an experienced team of specialists, can be of great value.

Sartrex offers custom-designed control and safety instrumentation for nuclear power generation, military and security-related markets, and scientific laboratories. Its instrumentation covers a wide range of applications, including control and safety instrumentation, radiation monitoring, computerized process control systems, scientific automation projects, security devices, and military equipment for the international marketplace.

“Nuclear power plants need products designed, manufactured, and qualified to the highest quality standards, and we provide that,” says Shawn Sarkar, Executive VP and QA director of Sartrex. “Leveraging our team’s expertise, we understand the safety standards and needs of nuclear plants and integrate them into the design and development across all of our instruments.”

Sartrex holds a portfolio of over 2500 successful products operating as the frontline defense system for multiple nuclear power plants worldwide, which are built using its registered quality systems.

It operates on strict manufacturing and design restrictions, following the best practices of global standards. To maintain quality levels, it performs the entire manufacturing process, quality assurance, and testing in-house in its 40,000 sqft Concord, Ontario facility. Sartrex is ISO-9001:2015, ASME NQA-1, and CSA N299.2 registered company and maintains manufacturing and calibration licenses from the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission for manufacturing and testing radiation devices.

Sartrex, in its 40 years of operation plays an instrumental role in assisting power plants with critical infrastructure refurbishments. It is capable of replacing every piece of equipment based on modern technologies while assuring the new components have the same form, fit, and function. Clients can benefit from the latest technology while witnessing the same level of functionality as their prior instruments without the need to revise their existing system designs. This approach to instrument renovation has helped the firm gain the trust of some of the largest nuclear power plants in the world, including Bruce Power and Ontario Power Generation.
