Sizewell, United Kingdom Types of services
The United Kingdom aims for carbon neutrality by 2050 and seeks to accelerate the development of nuclear energy. It has therefore approved the project to replicate Hinkley Point C at the Sizewell site. This project includes the construction of two pressurised water reactors of the EPR type with a total capacity of 3.2 GW. Thanks to their expertise on the Hinkley Point C plant, the Ingerop teams have been commissioned, through a framework agreement, to carry out the detailed civil engineering studies for four nuclear island buildings dedicated to effluent storage and control, utilities, waste treatment and storage.
The scope of the studies is as follows:
- Global calculations (soil-structure interaction, building modelling, reinforcement detailing),
- Local calculations (rebar detailing),
- Creation of 3D models (formwork and reinforcement).
