As part of this project for the CNA, Inse Rail provided the engineering, design, supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of a Hydraulic Loop for training, including:

  • The engineering and design of the product to be supplied.
  • The supply of materials for the installation of the Hydraulic Loop.
  • The installation of the equipment, including the necessary lifting equipment for the installation.
  • All of the regulation and control system.
  • Testing and commissioning of the Hydraulic Loop.
  • The management of the necessary permits and authorizations with the Administration.

The industrial installation was configured and designed to provide it with the mechanisms required based on the functions required by the ANP, taking into account human, technical, and organizational factors.
