Russian digital project control system goes live at Egypt’s El Dabaa nuclear power plant

Deploying a new system

In December 2025, Grinat JSC completed the deployment of the EOS-Traceability system, built on the 1C platform, at the El Dabaa nuclear power plant construction site in Egypt. The system records the receipt, movement, and issuance of materials, ensures transparency in document flows among project participants, and monitors supply chains in an international environment. This marks the first time the company has brought such a platform into permanent operation at a major overseas construction site.

The platform collects data on every item in storage and logistics, assigns unique digital identifiers, and maintains a full movement history for each unit. Standard industrial marking technologies are used for identification, including DataMatrix two-dimensional codes and RFID tags.

Data capture and accounting are carried out using mobile data collection terminals, which automate the processing of incoming and outgoing warehouse transactions. This toolset has already been tested at several sites in Russia and has now been adapted to the requirements of an international project.

Meanwhile, the platform has been integrated with internal digital project management systems. This makes it possible to track not only material flows but also associated contracts, acceptance certificates, and quality documentation. A unified digital environment simplifies oversight procedures and accelerates decision-making on site.

The EOS-Traceability system is built on the 1C platform and has already been implemented at more than 55 enterprises across the industry. In Egypt, the key challenges were stringent information security requirements, integration with the site’s existing infrastructure, and training personnel in new workflows. All objectives were fully achieved, demonstrating the success of the project

Why it matters for the project

Nuclear power plant construction involves complex international supply chains with hundreds of contractors and thousands of equipment items. Digital traceability reduces the risk of losses, documentation errors, and delivery delays. When every component has a unique identifier and a documented history, locating it or understanding the cause of a delay can take minutes rather than days. This saves time and costs while increasing confidence for the customer.

For Grinat and the wider nuclear sector, the launch at El Dabaa has additional significance. The system has demonstrated its reliability in a multinational environment with different logistics practices and regulatory frameworks. This strengthens the potential for replicating the solution in future overseas Rosatom projects.

How it works in daily operations

From a user perspective, the process is straightforward. A supplier delivers a batch of materials, a warehouse operator scans the code, and the terminal automatically records the receipt. The system then tracks the batch through every stage – storage, installation, and acceptance. In the event of a claim or non-conformance, a complete digital history is immediately available. Personnel receive notifications about inspection deadlines and quality control checkpoints, while project managers can see real-time movement maps.

Technically, the system interacts with local databases, the project management portal, and logistics and accounting tools. This creates a continuous digital flow from goods receipt to contract closure. The approach reduces paperwork and eliminates duplicate data entry, which had been a persistent weakness in earlier projects.

Future development

Over the next one to two years, the system is expected to be adapted for other international construction sites, with expanded functionality covering quality management and contract modules. In the medium term, this could lead to the creation of a unified digital ecosystem for export projects, where all processes – from logistics to warranty obligations – are monitored through a single interface.

At the same time, successful scaling will require harmonising data exchange standards with partners, ensuring robust information security, and maintaining data accuracy across numerous participants. Addressing these challenges will depend on technical enhancements, staff training, and the alignment of operating procedures with country-specific requirements.
