Global maintenance: availability and performance guarantees Outsourced global maintenance with availability and performance guarantees is a growing market in the industry, and one of Cegelec's core skills. In the military sector, Cegelec's activities include electrical maintenance at the Cadarache site of the French atomic energy commission (CEA) and global maintenance at two GIAT Industries sites. Maintenance of ground-based installations Cegelec is a major player in MRO services for sensitive site infrastructure and production systems, guaranteeing the operational capacity of armed forces in an external theatre of operations. These activities show Cegelec's ability to guarantee results, particularly in terms of availability, reliability and the longevity of its systems. It can also offer innovative financing solutions. A recent trend: MRO outsourcing Armed forces are gradually outsourcing MRO operations, enabling them to ensure availability over the long term and to keep costs steady. Cegelec has quickly become a partner of DCN and a major force in MRO operations for the French Navy's ships in foreign waters, due to: its global network, covering French overseas territories, Asia, Brazil, Morocco and some Gulf countries, and its local, highly-trained technicians; an effective e-maintenance system; the ability to mobilise large teams quickly and for short periods. These strengths have enabled Cegelec to become DCN's MRO partner for La Glorieuse patrol boats in Nouméa, and for La Rieuse boats in La Réunion. After being awarded two of the seven La Fougueuse contracts, Cegelec has signed its first global turnkey MRO contract for the La Boudeuse patrol boat. The contract comprises a project management role and a performance guarantee. A V A I L A B I L I T Y Nuclear power plants Multi-technical maintenance at nuclear sites is one of Cegelec's specialities. EDF has appointed Cegelec to handle plumbing systems at its nuclear power plants. In 2002, DCN also awarded Cegelec the maintenance contract for part of the new generation SSBNs Le Triomphant. T U R N K E Y S E R V I C E Special equipment maintenance Based on Cegelec's broad range of technical skills, NATO has appointed the company to operate the Central European Pipeline System - a 2,700km oil pipeline network - in Germany. The contract covers the whole system, from inlet valves to regulation from military bases.
