Hinkley Point C is currently the largest construction project in Europe delivering 2 new nuclear reactors on the Southwest coast of the UK.
The marine works contract, undertaken by Balfour Beatty, has successfully constructed the power stations primary cooling water infrastructure, comprising approximately 10km of tunnels both onshore and out beneath the Bristol Channel.
Our speakers will talk you through how they delivered the first of their kind offshore connections, enabling sea water to enter via embedded intake heads and spent water to discharge via a combined outfall system.
Please register in advance to help us manage numbers and ensure we have everything prepared for you on the night.
