Concelex has been awarded a EUR 49.8 million contract by Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) for the construction of several technical facilities and administrative offices, as part of the Cernavoda Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1 Refurbishment Project, for Nuclearelectrica. The works are scheduled to begin in Q1 2026 and will be completed by the end of 2027.

As part of the refurbishment program for Unit 1 of the Cernavodă Nuclear Power Plant, Concelex is delivering an extensive package of buildings, platforms, and infrastructure works for KHNP. The project includes operational and administrative facilities, logistics areas, electrical transformer substation, yarding services, road works and access control facilities. The scope also covers fire protection water tanks with pumping stations, systems for the relocation of existing utility pipelines and cable routes, groundwater monitoring installations, and the development of internal circulation areas for personnel, equipment, and materials. In parallel, Concelex is implementing complete utility networks, security and surveillance systems. Together, these works ensure the safe, efficient, and uninterrupted execution of the refurbishment program while meeting the stringent operational and safety requirements of a nuclear facility.

The refurbishment of Unit 1 is a cornerstone for Romania’s nuclear energy strategy. Concelex holds certifications from the National Commission for Nuclear Activities Control (CNCAN) for nuclear construction, fabrication, and supply activities. These certifications confirm compliance with strict national and international safety standards and robust quality management systems, ensuring that all works meet the highest requirements for nuclear safety and reliability.
