Bilfinger win more work at Hinkley Point C

Bilfinger has won two additional contracts worth more than £355 million at Hinkley Point C. EDF has awarded the construction contracts to provide execution design, supplier management, procurement, pipework fabrication and construction works for Nuclear Steam Supply System (NSSS) and Balance of Nuclear Island (BNI).

The significance of the new construction contracts is underscored by Bilfinger’s elevation to a Tier 1 supplier to the project, one of a small number of selected partners who form the strategic steering committee and who together are preferred suppliers for future projects.

Bilfinger’s current volume of work for the new nuclear power plant Hinkley Point C (HPC) in England now exceeds £440 million.

The work on the two contracts will begin immediately and continue until 2025.

Bilfinger CEO Tom Blades: “Crossing the half-billion order intake threshold and our subsequent recognition as a strategic partner through the Tier 1 status is a tremendous achievement for Bilfinger. We are proud to be an integral part of the HPC project and look forward to many future opportunities with EDF.”

Simon Parsons, Hinkley Point C MEH Programme Director, said: “We are delighted to be able to extend our relationship with Bilfinger, with the award of these additional work packages. A primary factor in our decision was not only Bilfinger’s ability to demonstrate their experience and expertise in delivering large scale nuclear construction projects but also their commitment and ethos to working within a trusted partnership.”

Bilfinger UK, Bilfinger Engineering & Technologies Germany and Bilfinger Peters Engineering France will jointly provide delivery for the two new contracts.

Hinkley Point C is the first new nuclear power station to be built in the UK in over 25 years.
