Bilfinger Secures New Order for Hinkley Point C

The contract, which is expected to run until 2030, underscores Bilfinger’s position as a strategic Tier-1 supplier to the nuclear industry.

The comprehensive scope of work covers critical areas at the heart of nuclear power plant operations, reflecting Bilfinger’s deep nuclear expertise. Bilfinger’s services for the new build initiative include detailed engineering, procurement, piping prefabrication, and installation works, currently delivered by around 300 specialists on site. At peak times, the company will deploy up to 800 people, with an additional 100 employees working at the company’s prefabrication facility in West Carr. 

Caroline Sagne, President Business Unit Nuclear at Bilfinger, said:

“This multi-year contract places us among a select group of partners entrusted with delivering essential systems for new nuclear plants, which is a testament to our deep expertise and the trust placed in our capabilities. We are proud to take on this significant role for our customer and remain committed to delivering highest standards in quality, efficiency, and safety.”
