Supporting Nuclear New Build Projects
Bureau Veritas at Hinkley Point C: Delivering integrated inspection and quality services
As the leading provider of nuclear inspections in the UK and a global leader in testing, inspection and certification services, Bureau Veritas understands the challenges of Nuclear New Build.
The Hinkley Point C project is now well under way and with further projects expected in the coming years, quality and safety remain critical throughout the planning, engineering and construction phases.
It has never been more important for developers and contractors to work closely with their trusted inspection provider, and Bureau Veritas leads the industry with unrivalled experience, expertise and technical know-how.
Experience at Hinkley Point C
Our experienced nuclear team has been working with EDF NNB GenCo since 2010 to undertake inspection and quality related tasks ahead of the construction of two European Pressurised Reactors (EPRs) at Hinkley Point C.
This gives Bureau Veritas a unique understanding of the project scope and challenges, working closely with key stakeholders to ensure quality, maintain integrity, achieve compliance.
Within a series of individual frameworks, we have successfully completed tasks for EDF NNB GenCo, major contractors and for the Office for Nuclear Regulation.
