MEH success
|
|
|
The MEH team is celebrating a major milestone as they take their first steps to install electrical works in the first reactor’s Electrical Building. The Electrical Building will house key equipment for incoming power from National Grid, before it is distributed to different areas of Hinkley Point C, including instrumentation and control systems.
MEH is the next major phase of the project and stands for Mechanical, Electrical and HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning).

Turbine Hall Progress
|
|
|
Our 15 Turbine Generator (TG) columns are a striking feature on site and are in place to support the Turbine Hall building. As construction progresses, the columns have been surrounded by another large structure which will hold the weight of 2,500m3 of concrete until it sets, and is specifically designed to make sure it does so evenly.
Once the concrete is poured, it will create the table upon which the turbine and turbine generator will sit.

Covid Update
|
|
|
Throughout the pandemic our priority has been on keeping our workforce and local community safe. Following the easing of restrictions across England on the 19th July, we will be cautiously adjusting our own Covid-19 measures in line with Government advice whilst also remaining vigilant of the risks that exist.
Our offices, canteens and busses will be returning to full capacity, but we will be maintaining many of the protection measures that are in place today. Face coverings will still be required when on busses and moving around our offices and we will continue to encourage social distancing in busy areas. We are also maintaining our testing capability with our own facility continuing to perform targeted and asymptomatic testing. New starters and those returning to work will also have to provide a negative test result before commencing work.
If you have any questions or concerns on our plans, please do get in touch using the contact details below.
