BYLOR Joint Venture

A great milestone for Sizewell C! The project has officially achieved its Final Investment Decision. On Tuesday, Sizewell C secured complete funding, confirming the support of private investors for Britain's next nuclear power station. This demonstrates strong confidence in the critical role Sizewell C will play in the nation’s energy future. As part of the Sizewell C supply chain, we are proud to be part of a project delivering substantial benefits across the country—from creating tens of thousands of jobs to ensuring that roughly 70% of the construction investment goes to British businesses. We are excited to witness the construction of another nuclear power station in Britain, marking a significant step forward in strengthening the nation’s energy independence and sustainability. #SizewellC #FID #FundingSecured

Yesterday, we successfully placed the second Dome onto Hinkley Point C’s Unit 2 Reactor Building, marking a significant milestone in the progress of this new nuclear build. This achievement was made possible by 'Big Carl,' the world's largest crane, which effortlessly lifted the 245-tonne Dome onto the 44-metre-high Reactor Building. The construction of the second identical Unit is advancing 20-30% faster than on Unit 1. This acceleration is due to the application of lessons learned from Unit 1 to deliver fantastic gains in productivity, safety and quality. By ‘Building & Repeating’, we’ve completed 40% more civil construction with fewer hours worked and installed more equipment and steelwork. Pre-fabrication rates in factories on and off-site are approaching 60%, transforming the nuclear construction industry. We are immensely proud of all teams who collaborated on this great milestone! #Construction #Nuclear

🏗️ At Hinkley Point C, innovation is at the heart of everything we do!  Recently, we achieved a ground-breaking feat by performing a first-of-its-kind lift to relocate a crane. This complex operation involved 'Big Carl,' the world's largest crane, lifting another crane – the 1L5 crane – to a bespoke base for dismantling, followed by its reassembly and subsequent lifting back into position. The lift, carried out from 12:00 AM to 6:00 AM, adhered to a strict wind speed limit of 5 m/s to ensure safety and precision. This unprecedented operation was made possible through the collaboration between BYLOR Joint Venture and Potain Manitowoc, who designed specialised lifting eyes and spreader beams. It's a testament to our commitment to pioneering innovative solutions at Hinkley Point C! 🌟 Don't forget to tune in live on YouTube tomorrow to witness 'Big Carl' lifting the 245-tonne dome onto the second reactor building! 📅 Thursday 17th July from approx 09:00 BST (Timings subject to weather conditions) 📺 Streaming live on YouTube: https://ow.ly/ppwz50WpeUi #Construction #Nuclear

🎉 We’ve landed the fourth and final modular precast element in the Unit 1 Safeguard Building. The final Precast Module was successfully installed by our Heavy Lift team. This means the team has now completed areas of the Levels 8 and 9 of the Safeguard Building – the final level. The precast modules, each weighing between 300 and 400 tones, were built 'offline' and then lifted into the Safeguard Building. This method cuts the overall 'in situ' construction time, reducing the timeframe for overall building completion. It also improved safety, thanks to easier access to otherwise congested work areas. These lifts also marked a first at HPC. The modules were the first 3D precast units installed on the project. They're called 3D because they're made up of both slabs and walls. Dasen Moodley (PMP), Senior Project Manager in the Unit 1 Reactor Safeguard Building, said: “The delivery teams had to prepare meticulously to receive the module into the building. This involved a number of temporary works requirements to ensure the modules could be safely landed and incorporated into the building. “I’m extremely pleased with the final outcome of the four installations. The commitment and drive shown collectively by multiple teams to deliver this innovative method of construction is admirable.”   Now that all four precast modules have been landed, the Heavy Lift team have time to reflect on their learnings and incorporate them into future work on Unit 2 Reactor Building. #Construction #Nuclear

🎉 We’ve completed our biggest mega-lift yet on Hinkley Point C Unit 2 Reactor Building. 8 pre-assembled cages were lifted in one series of works. This means that the Octad have 30% more unique bars per tonne than an average site-wide weekly rebar order from our rebar supplier. 🏗️ The lifts took place across four days in June and consisted of 5,600 individual bars weighing in at a total of 213 tonnes (the largest was 12m long and weighed 32 tonnes). This was made up of 4,220 unique bars – known as bar marks – which are used to identify and distinguish different types of rebar. 👏 Congratulations to the teams! Watch this timelapse video of the 8 cages being lifted onto the Unit 2 Reactor Building. #Construction #Nuclear
