Activity and Skills

Thune Eureka is a full service supplier of complex metal goods manufacturing. Our sections include Boilermaking, Welding, Machining, Assembly, Integration and Operational Tests.

Our competitive advantage stems from the fact that our product manufacturing encompasses the complete cycle, from the acquisition of raw materials to the delivery to the customer, including the different intermediate phases, with equipment subjected to demanding acceptance tests, and the entire process carried out by highly qualified workers.

Contracts for Big Science facilities

[CERN] MMB MOULD IMPREGNATION SYSTEM (2023 - 2024)

Mould designed for the impregnation of new spare coils for SPS main dipoles manufactured at CERN. Large dimensions 7m (long) x 1m (width).

[OTHER - ALTER ] STUMM (START-UP MONITORING MODULE) PROTO IFMIF DONES (2023 - 2024)

1:1 Scale Prototype. Manufacturing similar to final STUMM. More than 240 sensors installed. STUMM will allow the characterization of Neutron radiation and Gamma radiation fields produced by nuclear reactions resulted from the incidence of Deuterons beam on the Lithium target.

[ESS BILBAO] PROTON BEAM INSTRUMENTATION PLUG - PBIP (2023 - 2024)

Measuring properties to determine that protons arriving to the target do it with the proper shape, energy, frequency, and other parameters, etc.

[F4E - ALTER ] IRBOL (IR-BOLOMETER) LIBERTY SYSTEM (2022 - 2023)

Neutron irradiation testing and associated services to assess the performance and reliability of bolometer sensor prototypes to contribute to a decision on which types are suitable for use in ITER to measure plasma radiation.

[ESS BILBAO] SHIELDING COLLAR (2022)

Carbon steel machined and coated for nuclear shielding.

[ESS BILBAO] CONNECTING PIPE (2021 - 2022)

Stainless steel machined, welded and vacuum and pressure tested.

[ILL] H1 ROOF (2021 - 2021)

Carbon steel and stainless steel machined and coated for nuclear shielding.

[ESS BILBAO] TARGET SHAFT (2019 - 2022)

Machining, welding, assembly, vacuum and pressure testing and functional testing of the Target Shaft. Provide the target wheel with coolant (helium): After cooling the hotspot, the coolant goes upwards until it gets to the rotary seal. Therefore, there have to be designed two concentrically separated channels for the inlet and for the outlet helium flow, respectively. A requirement that the design needs to meet: the maximum pressure drop along all the loop must be lower than 0,85 bars.

[ESS] TUNNING BEAM DUMP (2018 - 2019)

Machining, welding, vacuum and pressure testing of copper and stainless steel component. The Tuning Beam Dump (TBD) is a device dedicated to stop the proton beam during accelerator tuning operations. On tuning conditions, the beam produced by the accelerator is limited inpower (12.5 kW) compared with the nominal beam power, however its shape is unpredictable. Due to this uncertainty on shape, there is a signiﬁcant risk if the beam goes to the target wheel. On this conditions, the beam goes to the TBD.

[ESS] GROUND SHIELDING (2018 - 2019)

The Ground Shielding and Vessel support consists of a number of steel blocks that provide a shielding function of the Monolith as well as the support ring below the Monolith Vessel. Figure below shows a cross section of the Monolith and the position of the Ground shielding and Vessel support.

[ESS BILBAO] VESSEL SUPPORT AND GROUND SHIELDING (2018 - 2018)

Carbon steel machined and coated for shielding. Stainless steel machined for support.
