RPC has more than 30 years’ experience developing, designing, and installing innovative solutions for the nuclear industry across Canada and around the world. In fact, in the early 1990’s, RPC developed one of the world’s first computerized ultrasonic flowmeters. With an expertise in the design of nuclear inspection tooling, RPC has developed proprietary technology in both high-temperature flowmetering and on-line ultrasonic systems. This, coupled with highly specialized staff, has given RPC an excellent reputation for solving very difficult problems in the nuclear industry. RPC’s site-qualified staff have spent extensive time working in nuclear facilities worldwide and understand nuclear systems and the challenges faced while working in such an environment (ie. radiation, contamination, safety).
