Nuclear

As countries around the world implement their plans to reduce carbon emissions, nuclear power is playing an increasingly important role in delivering a balanced energy supply that is safe, secure and affordable.

Developing the capability to distribute electricity generated by new nuclear power stations presents significant programme management and construction delivery challenges, from ensuring compliance with the regulations and effectively managing global supply chains and complex logistics to engaging with local communities and the wider public. In addition to the highly technical nature of the design, the construction and commissioning of facilities require comprehensive experience and capability in programme, project and construction management.

Mace is bringing its expertise and innovative approach to bear on the new nuclear build programme. We are combining our experience gained in the successful delivery of major programmes such as the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and Heathrow's Terminal 5, with our growing capability in the nuclear sector to manage the programme, and are already working with EDF Energy on the development of the infrastructure for Hinkley Point C nuclear power station.

Our experience in delivering large-scale and complex programmes of work makes us the perfect partner for energy producers looking to develop new generating capacity. We marshall the best processes and practices from the wider engineering and construction industry and apply them to this complex sector.

As the need for new generating capacity increases, so does the need to deliver safe, sustainable, affordable and publicy acceptable solutions to nuclear decommissioning, clean-up and waste management. And as with new build, the challenges are significant, and further research is needed to develop technical solutions that minimise the risk involved in the disposal of nuclear waste.

With a wealth of experience gained through working in other highly regulated sectors, Mace is able to support clients as they tackle the considerable and specific challenges posed by the new nuclear build programme.
