Our activities
Civil Engineering & Special Works: From concept to commissioning
Drawing on our DNA, NUVIA designs, constructs, modifies, strengthens, and commissions complex structures and support facilities for industrial and sensitive sites—especially nuclear. We ensure safety, durability, and innovation.

NUVIA delivers civil engineering and special works services
Civil works are in our DNA; we can design and build any supporting facility necessary for industrial and sensitive sites, among which nuclear facilities. Our services include the design, sizing, studies, construction, qualification, commissioning of complex structures, and specific works such as prestressing, accessibility works, and special coatings.
Full-scope capability
NUVIA brings over sixty years of experience inherited from various nuclear projects. As a trusted specialised partner, we design and build critical support facilities—ranging from structures and wastewater treatment plants to laundry operations—in high-security and nuclear environments.
Our expertise covers every stage of civil works: sizing, design, studies, hands-on construction, qualification, and commissioning. We execute demanding tasks—prestressing, heavy handling, special coatings, seismic bearing installation—tailored to enhance resilience and longevity.


Structural adaptation
We excel in structural modification, repair, and reinforcement, transforming existing facilities to meet evolving safety standards. We integrate robust engineering measures into every project. We deliver resilience through anti‑seismic bearings, flood and fire protection systems, ensuring structural integrity even in adverse conditions.
Supporting core-process facilities
We design and construct essential support buildings—waste treatment systems, effluent plants, storage, and laundry facilities—tailored for sensitive industrial and nuclear setups. Every structure is engineered for efficiency, compliance, and operational safety.


Decommissioning & Special Works
Our advanced capabilities shine in nuclear decommissioning, as shown at Trawsfynydd (UK)—where we designed and deployed our ModuCon modular containment system to safely dismantle highly contaminated tanks—and at Sweden’s Ringhals, where we led heavy lifting and bioshield operations, removing 300‑ton steam generators.
NUVIA also excels in special works such as in prestressing, application of advanced protective coatings, heavy‑handling operations, precision concrete piping, and expert concrete cutting and deconstruction—delivering high‑value, resilient civil works in critical and sensitive industrial environments.
