Construction work at Hinkley Point C

EDF is building two U.K.-EPR reactors at Hinkley Point C, a 3,位于萨默塞特郡的200兆瓦发电站将满足美国7%的电力需求.K.’s electricity needs. Now under construction, this is the first new nuclear power station to be built in the U.K. 已有20多年的历史，计划于2025年开始运营.

Hinkley Point C will provide low-carbon electricity for around six million homes, 创造数以千计的就业机会，并为美国带来持久的利益.K. economy. 预计它将对美国的军事行动做出重大贡献.K.’s move to reduce carbon emissions. The electricity generated by its two EPR reactors will offset nine million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions a year, 或者说，在其60年的使用寿命中有6亿吨.

Jacobs is supporting EDF with wide-ranging professional technical and project management services. Our UKAS-accredited Inspection Validation Center is the project’s sole supplier for independent verification of ultrasound inspections on safety critical components.

美国将新建第一座核电站.K. in over 20 years, EDF’s Hinkley Point C in Somerset is expected to make a major contribution to the U.K.’s ambition to reduce carbon emissions.

它将为大约600万户家庭提供低碳电力, 创造数以千计的就业机会，并为美国带来持久的利益.K. economy. Jacobs is supporting with wide-ranging professional technical and project management services and in a program delivery role.

To date, 我们为车站海堤和相关防御提供了现场设计工作, 建筑材料码头和厂房输送码头, seawater intake and outfall heads, the U.K. context for non-U.K. 工厂设计和配套道路和网络.

In 2015, we also became Delivery Partner for program, 土方工程项目及施工管理服务, main civil works, 海上工程和现场散热系统. In 2019,该项目完成了第一个反应堆的基础和760米的海堤, as well as starting the tunnelling on the three water cooling intakes deep beneath the Severn Estuary.

规划法规和通用设计评估

In the early project planning stages, we supported EDF with the Generic Design Assessment (GDA) and Development Consent Order (DCO) for the EPR.

对于美国设计验收的GDA申请.K. regulators, 我们在人为因素分析等领域提供技术专长, safety case analysis, structural integrity, civil engineering, 仪表、控制和法规要求. DCO是第一批根据美国军事合同授予的合同之一.K.大型首页项目审批的新制度. We provided far-ranging support, 从技术投入到环境影响评价, 在规划谘询会上提供专家证人证词的申请. We continue to work with the EDF team to achieve regulatory approvals for construction through the preparation of the pre-construction safety process.

Justification of critical elements of the design meant that minimal changes were needed. 我们还提供了一种综合方法来处理场地数据，以便在场地规划中使用, permitting and nuclear licensing and helped to present a positive and comprehensive view of the environmental impact to local communities and stakeholders during public consultation.
