Electric vehicules
Safer vehicles with a reduced environmental impact, Ortec designed and developed a range of 100% electric and hybrid vehicles.
ONE, digital forms
Connected solutions for teams on the ground
ONE is a comprehensive electronic application that facilitates the multi-site management of operations such as waste management and sanitation. Job requests are entered via a simple user interface and sent directly to operators on the ground, who then generate a job report using the mobile version of the application. It allows customers to closely monitor all operations on their sites, in real time. They also have a record of all the work carried out.
The mobile application Digital Forms improves the on-site monitoring process and simplifies the production of job reports. Manual note taking is replaced by a touchscreen tablet with a user-friendly interface. The key is to save input time, reduce the risk of error and share information instantaneously to increase responsiveness.
NT4, the robotized descaler
For critical and non-critical descaling operations on condensers in the nuclear sector, we use a mechanized descaler: NT4.
Gaia, connected management of land movements.
A connected soil movement application used in soil management on building sites, this Made in Ortec innovation calculates in real time the best orientation of a soil mesh at a given moment.
The sewer cleaning truck for atex environments
Cleaner, safer pumping, low VOC emissions
The VOC-reduced hydrocleaner makes hydrocarbon tank cleaning operations safer by reducing the quantity of gases emitted during the process. The new solution retains the advantages of vacuum pumping, but reduces the volumes and surfaces of liquid products, as well as transfer times in the vacuum circuit. As a result, ATEX and VOC hazards are reduced.
Tools that drive businesses forward
New digital technologies applied to business practices
- Augmented reality supports aviation tooling maintenance by enabling operators to view assembly/disassembly parts and procedures, etc.
- 3D printing is used to create equipment prototypes.
- Interactive zoning tools (data to plan) are used to graphically process data and convert it to an image file.
- A pilot project to design and develop Internet-connected glasses has been carried out to allow sanitation teams to be geolocated and guided by GPS, receive written instructions, take and send photos, etc.
Thermal desorption
Heat treatment of contaminated soils
A new and highly effective method of soil remediation, in-situ or ex-situ thermal desorption consists in heating contaminated soil to a temperature of 300°C through a network of tubes. This causes the volatilisation of pollutants, which are then captured using a suction system and either treated on site or reused as a fuel supplement. This very cost-effective technique can be used to treat soils contaminated by either heavy or light hydrocarbons, without producing any smell or waste.
NED
The nuclear decontamination robot
A mechanised solution for decontaminating nuclear reactor pools, the Nuclear Environment Decontaminator (NED) significantly reduces the exposure of personnel to radiation. The robot, which is controlled remotely from a less exposed area, can treat 90% of the pool’s surface. It can treat walls up to two metres high, and its speed of travel can be controlled to ensure the uniform application of cleaning products. The NED minimises decontamination times.
Eolbox & Mini Eolbox
Eolbox is an integrated, turnkey, patented solution designed by Ortec to facilitate the management of hazardous industrial waste (HIW) arising from the maintenance of your wind turbines.
Pipe lining
No-dig pipe repair
The lining technique used by Ortec enables sewer networks to be restored without digging trenches.
Biopile traitment
The biological treatment of soil
Biopile treatment is a method of treating contaminated soil by biological mechanisms. It consists in stimulating bacterial activity to accelerate the natural biodegradation of hydrocarbons. The principle: the excavated soil is mixed, aerated and combined with compost before being assembled into piles in a treatment area with a leachate collection system. The biopile is then aerated by vacuum extraction, while the waste gases produced by biodegradation are collected for treatment.
Smart-Li
Smart-li is the intelligent data analysis, management and conversion solution for your Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) projects.
