Latest ‘Insider Tour’ of Hinkley Point C released
In the latest update video, Hinkley Point C’s Project Delivery Director, Simon Parsons takes us behind the scenes as the site focus shifts to a new phase. With the civil construction work nearing completion and the second dome in place, attention is now firmly on the power station’s fit out with pipes, cables and equipment.
Thanks to innovation and the experience gained from Unit 1, teams are building the second unit 20-30% faster, with prefabrication now approaching 60%. Everything learned here will benefit Sizewell C from the start.
