Hinkley Point C | New video shows Hinkley Point C Ready for Dome Lift

Описание: New video and pictures show Hinkley Point C’s progress as teams at the new nuclear power station get ready to lift the dome on its second reactor building this summer.

More prefabrication and modular construction in factories is transforming the way we build the power station, effectively making it a “Large Modular Reactor” with big benefits for Unit 2 and Sizewell C. In the video you can see the recent 170 tonne staircase “megalift” and Big Carl lifting in complete rooms in one piece.

At dome lift for Unit 2, we will be further ahead with more equipment installed than at the same point on Unit 1. For civil construction, fewer people on Unit 2 will have achieved 40% more work than on Unit 1. At the same point, they’ll be 300 tonnes of steel installed versus just 10 for Unit 1 and 44 radiation-proof nuclear doors versus 28. After being stopped during the pandemic, these gains mean it is catching up fast.
