Discover how our innovative solutions and expertise extend to various key markets. Explore below the sectors where we provide significant added value through our products and advanced technologies.
Mining & TP
AHD supplies critical parts that make up joints, suspension and chassis components, and highly stressed parts in contact with ore, among others, for major global companies in the Mining and Construction Equipment sector.
We offer innovative solutions through complex cast parts that enable our clients to optimize their production cycle.
Oil & Gas
Aciéries Hachette et Driout is recognized as a specialist in supplying high metallurgical requirement parts for extraction, transportation, and refining facilities in the Oil & Gas sector.
Railway
We produce numerous parts with varying levels of finish for suspension, coupling, and braking systems for major global manufacturers of passenger trains, freight trains, and trams/metros. These parts are critical safety components that are highly stressed by our clients.
Hydroelectricity
We supply safety parts for all circulation circuits in hydroelectric dams. The diversity of our production capabilities allows us to offer our clients ready-to-install parts. We provide Francis wheels, Kaplan-type turbines, safety valve components, and structural elements such as discharge rings.
Turbines & Compressors
AHD supplies diaphragms, diffusers, and compressor bodies that are part of gas and steam turbines generating electricity in various types of power plants.
Naval
We supply numerous propulsion and structural parts for the construction of merchant ships, tankers (LNG), and military vessels. Our services include advanced machining levels and a precise mastery of casting processes to optimize the performance of our clients’ parts.
Our metallurgical expertise also leads us to provide valve and ballast pump components.
Dredging
Dredging serves several functions: carrying out port engineering works (excavating basins or channels), maintaining river or maritime channels used by ships that have been filled with sediments, and extracting marine aggregates to meet the needs of the construction sector.
To withstand these heavy demands, Aciéries Hachette et Driout has developed a new technology, patented in 2008, which significantly enhances the lifespan of the parts. (The TRECAR Patent “PATENTED TECHNOLOGY”)
Offshore
AHD is a key supplier of structural parts for offshore oil platforms, as well as components for valves and circulation in the Oil & Gas sector. We also provide anchoring systems and pump parts for seawater desalination in Duplex.
Nuclear
AHD has already delivered numerous parts for the nuclear market, installed in both French power plants and facilities in the USA, South Korea, China, Finland, Belgium, and England.
Its ability to manufacture components of levels 3, 2, and 1 according to RCC-M or ASME III codes, tested, machined, or assembled, makes it a preferred partner.
For example, AHD has produced bodies, valves, covers, and gate/globe/butterfly/check/ball valve arches, as well as bodies, wheels, diffusers, and bowls for pumps.
Infrastructures
AHD operates in the civil engineering sector, particularly through the manufacturing of structural joints.
