Sizewell C has appointed William Hare Group to supply and install the structural steelwork for the amenity building at its accommodation campus in Suffolk. The two-storey facility will support the project’s out-of-area workforce during the construction of the new nuclear power station.
William Hare, headquartered in Bury, Lancashire, brings decades of nuclear sector experience, including ongoing work at Hinkley Point C. Fabrication of 550 tonnes of steel will be carried out at the company’s Scarborough facility, which uses advanced robotic technology to streamline high-volume production of beams and columns. On-site erection of the steel frame is scheduled to start before the end of 2025.
The contract aligns with Sizewell C’s goal of sourcing 70% of construction value from UK businesses. Nigel Cann, Joint Managing Director of Sizewell C, said: “We are committed to supporting the UK steel industry as we build Sizewell C.” The company has pledged £2.5 billion in investment to the North of England during the project, supporting local jobs and skills development. The accommodation campus is under construction near Leiston on the western edge of the Temporary Construction Area.
The project contributes to the UK’s broader nuclear infrastructure development, combining investment in domestic supply chains with the delivery of low-carbon energy for the long term.
