Employee Concerns Program

The Employee Concerns Program (ECP) is a multi-faceted program available to all Zachry Nuclear Inc. (ZNI) personnel (employed either directly or indirectly by ZNI). The ECP provides ZNI personnel professional and confidential assistance to deal with concerns related to their personal lives or to report concerns related to the environment, health, occupational safety, ethics, a hostile work environment or those that are nuclear safety related. The ECP is also charged with addressing claims of Harassment, Intimidation, Retaliation or Discrimination (HIRD) related to employment and the reporting of Nuclear Safety Related Concerns.

What is an Employee Concern?

An Employee Concern is any concern of a personal or professional nature, which causes a ZNI individual worry, anxiety, fear, alarm, distress. Concerns may be personal, workplace related, or nuclear safety related.

You may use any of these options to voice your concern:

Contact your first-line supervisor
Contact another member of management
Use the Employee Concerns Program (ECP)

Complete an Employee Concern Reporting form and provide the form to your supervisor, manager or ECP Representative

Zachry Nuclear requires an atmosphere of open communication. All personnel have the right and responsibility to raise any possible safety or work related concern they might have without fear of retaliation.

Confidentiality is an important element of the Employee Concerns Program.

Electrical Distribution System Modeling

Zachry Nuclear offers a full range of Electrical Distribution System (EDS) analysis capabilities. We use industry standard ETAP® software from Operation Technology, Inc. (OTI) as well as other commercial software products including SKM® Power*Tools for Windows and EDSA® to perform EDS analysis.

Instrumentation and Controls

Zachry Nuclear has positioned itself as an industry leader in nuclear instrumentation and control systems engineering and design. Backed by decades of hands-on experience and an awareness of state-of-the-art improvements in control systems equipment, Zachry Nuclear provides innovative solutions that meet or exceed our nuclear customer expectations. Participation in various industry committees and working groups combined with an intimate familiarity of IEEE and ISA standards allows Zachry Nuclear to stay atuned to ever-changing control system design criteria requirements.

Quality Assurance Program

Zachry Nuclear's services and products meet the highest quality standards. Our Nuclear Quality Assurance Program complies with the requirements of the Code of Federal Regulations (10CFR50, Appendix B and 10CFR Part 21) and American National Standards Institute (N45.2). Our proprietary software products are developed, validated, and controlled under our Software Quality Assurance Program, which in addition to meeting the above requirements; also meet the requirements of ASME NQA-1.

Project Management Support

Successful project management requires a combination of experience, tools, techniques, and leadership skills. These factors coupled with the individual's enthusiasm, personal character and attention to detail are significant contributors to the success (or failure) of a project.

Civil/Structural Applied Mechanics

When your objective is to develop plans for nuclear facilities to meet new regulatory and/or economic demands, Zachry is an ideal choice for advanced analysis, design and engineering in the areas of civil and structural engineering and applied mechanics.

Mechanical Systems

Zachry Nuclear's involvement with mechanical systems design and engineering covers a broad spectrum, derived from our continued support of the U.S. nuclear power plant fleet. We are an experienced and trusted source for the following engineering services:

Nuclear Construction

We are experts in building and upgrading power plant turbines and have done more than 110 power facilities in our 85 years in industrial construction. Our group of nuclear building experts applies long-time knowledge and skills to the industry as nuclear re-emerges as a top-producing U.S. energy source.

We pride ourselves on high-quality, solution-driven service, customer responsiveness, successful technical resources, nuclear quality assurance program maintenance and specialized services. We use technological development of advanced analysis to deliver real-world results. At Zachry, our construction and design teams come together as a collaborative force to create the ideal full-service partner in the nuclear market.

Nuclear Engineering

We ensure cost-effective operations by investigating plant performance problems, assessing compliance to code and regulatory requirements, performing feasibility studies, developing conceptual designs, evaluating the cost and effectiveness of plant upgrades and preparing specifications and drawings for plant construction and modifications.

We offer significant experience in the design, evaluation and dependable operation of power plant electrical, instrumentation and control (I&C), structural and mechanical systems. Our electrical engineers design, analyze and modify a wide variety of in-plant AC and DC electrical distribution systems and prepare associated detailed equipment specifications. Our nuclear I&C experience covers a wide spectrum of engineering capabilities. Whether it involves control system enhancements to address component obsolescence concerns, resolving and addressing the unique challenges associated with analog to digital upgrades, or developing control logic for new safety related system digital platforms, our diverse I&C talent base enables us to offer the appropriate skill set for any of our client’s needs. Structurally, our expertise cross a multitude of disciplines including structural assessments, seismic qualification, vibration analysis, thermal and failure analysis, fracture mechanics and equipment foundation design and analysis. Our mechanical system design and engineering services relate to a wide range of power plant mechanical applications including our proprietary thermal-hydraulic system and component modeling software, used specifically for analyzing the performance of systems and equipment in nuclear power plants.
