Project Description

Located in South West England, the construction of a new nuclear power station at Hinkley Point C will provide zero-carbon electricity and help secure a diverse and balanced energy supply for the United Kingdom.

GE Steam Power, under a contract with NNB GenCo, designs and supplies two conventional power islands for Hinkley Point C.

The turbine halls will contain the Arabelle turbine, the largest and most powerful steam turbine in operation today, and other critical equipment.

In September 2021, ENKA signed with GE a contract for the prefabrication and erection of piping systems of the conventional power island. Scope of works to be carried out under ENKA’s responsibility may be summarised as installation of High Pressure (HP) piping, prefabrication, delivery, and installation of Intermediate Pressure (IP) and Low Pressure (LP) piping, prefabrication and assembly of HDPE and GRP piping, and installation and assembly of fire protection equipment and piping systems. Optionally, ENKA will also provide commissioning support and material management services to GE.

Pipe spool prefabrication of the project and supply and prefabrication of pipe supports are to be carried out at ENKA subsidiary Cimtas Pipe’s facilities, and the products are to be shipped from there to the construction site.
