Repair engineering
First-of-a-kind BWR repair route
Mechanical lead integrating assessment, repair concept, supplier and owner interfaces, and an extensive test programme incorporating first-of-a-kind sensing systems.
Founder & Principal Engineer
Benjamin Regener, Dipl.-Ing.
Founder-led nuclear engineering for difficult mechanical integrity, plant reliability and modernization decisions. Senior technical accountability stays close to the work, from problem framing through verified closure.
Delivery posture
Technical judgment before organisational theatre.
NIQS is designed for situations where the owner needs one accountable technical lead who can structure uncertainty, connect disciplines and keep the decision chain intact.
- Mechanical integrityComplex equipment and systems, inspection findings, calculations, ageing, repairs and modifications.
- Reliability recoveryRecurring failures, degraded performance, difficult causal mechanisms and corrective actions that need verification.
- ModernizationRepair, replacement, redesign, monitoring, obsolescence and lifecycle decisions under nuclear constraints.
- Technology deploymentRobotics, sensing, additive manufacturing, software and AI tied to explicit use cases, requirements and evidence gates.
Representative founder experience
Relevant problem-solving experience, attributed correctly.
Examples are anonymised and labelled as professional experience before NIQS. Client identities and protected technical detail are intentionally omitted.
Integrity decision
Fracture assessment for restart readiness
Technical lead integrating inspection evidence, loads, fracture assessment and reviewer interfaces into a defensible decision basis.
Innovation programme
Robotics and advanced manufacturing
Programme and innovation lead translating technology capability into use cases, requirements, tests and staged owner decision gates.
Claim boundary
Founder experience is not NIQS corporate history
NIQS mandates are described only against the actual contracted boundary, work products, evidence status and released outcomes.
How delivery is controlled
Principal-led does not mean unchecked.
Competence, technical checking and independent review are matched to the actual scope and risk of the mandate.
Named accountabilityOne identified Principal Engineer and a clear contractual boundary.
Evidence controlSource hierarchy, assumptions, uncertainties and acceptance criteria are visible.
Checking basisChecking level, specialist inputs and independence are defined by the work.
Owner interfacesHold points, decisions, formal roles and residual actions remain explicit.
