China is one of the world’s largest producers of nuclear power, and it’s consistently expanding its nuclear power production capacity with new reactors.

The Unit 1 and 2 of the Fangchenggang Nuclear Power Plant have been operational since 2016, and Unit 3 and 4 are currently under construction.

A total of six reactors are anticipated to be operational at the Fangchenggang site. Units 1 and 2 are both CPR-1000 reactors, while units 3–4 are Hualong One reactors, with projected units 5-6 planned to be Hualong One reactors as well.

Unit 3 began construction in December 2015, with unit 4 following a year later. Dextra has supplied more than 500,000 sleeves of Griptec coupler for the reinforcement of the APC structure.

Griptec is well-known for its reliability and performance in tension, compression, and fatigue, thanks to the unique design of the product that complies with the world’s most stringent projects specifications, especially for nuclear reactor building construction.
