Wood has won a contract to provide engineering and technical services to Hinkley Point C (HPC), the UK\u2019s first new nuclear power station for more than 20 years<\/h2>\n

At Hinkley Point C, Wood Group<\/a> is to provide construction design management advisory services, safety case and engineering support, and equipment qualification services in several key areas. Wood is also the project\u2019s sole supplier for independent verification of ultrasound inspections on safety-critical components.<\/p>\n

Effective immediately, the Hinkley Technical Support Alliance<\/a> (HTSA) agreement will last for five years with an optional five-year extension.<\/p>\n

Wood will provide station developers EDF Energy<\/a> with full life cycle services to improve project delivery and commercial performance.<\/p>\n

Bob MacDonald, CEO of Wood\u2019s specialist technical solutions business, said: \u201cWe are looking forward to providing additional support to EDF Energy on a project which is vital to the UK\u2019s energy security and the transition to a lower-carbon energy mix.<\/p>\n

“This positions us as a key strategic partner at Hinkley Point C, maintaining our track record of playing a key role in every UK nuclear new build project since the inception of the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Covering technical and engineering services across all elements of the project, the HTSA agreement will also improve the project\u2019s technical supply chain delivery<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Wood already provides similar professional services to EDF Energy Nuclear Generation under a long-term agreement to support the UK\u2019s eight existing nuclear power stations.<\/p>\n

Wood also operates in more than 60 countries, employing around 60,000 people. They specialise in the environment and infrastructure; clean energy; mining; nuclear and general industrial sectors.<\/p>\n
