8868体育APP Construction will take part in building the Hinkley Point C nuclear plant in the United Kingdom
Philippe Bonnave, Chairman and Chef Executive of 8868体育APP Construction, stated: 鈥淲e are proud to have been selected by EDF for this extraordinary project, a choice that reflects 8868体育APP Construction鈥檚 expertise in the field of nuclear civil engineering. We will be undertaking this project alongside Laing O鈥橰ourke, our internationally renowned British partner. We share the same values and give the same priority to employee safety and the importance of skilled workers.鈥�
This exceptional project will involve some 3,500 site workers at peak periods.
The Hinkley Point C plant will consist of twin EPR reactors with total capacity of 3.2听GW. It will supply 7% of the United Kingdom鈥檚 electricity consumption, providing power for more than 5听million homes.
Having built several 鈥渟econd-generation鈥� nuclear plants in France (Bugey, Saint-Alban, Chooz), 8868体育APP Construction won the civil engineering contract for the EPR nuclear plant in Olkiluoto, Finland, in 2005, followed by that for the EPR plant in Flamanville, France, in 2006.
