The largest modular build project in the UK

Premier Interlink, a leading Yorkshire based manufacturer and supplier of modular buildings, is pleased to announce that it has been appointed as the preferred bidder for the construction of a modular building complex, comprising of offices and site welfare facilities, required for the proposed construction of the new EDF Nuclear power generation plant at Hinkley Point C in Somerset.
 
This vast £40 million, 38,000 sq m, impressive range of buildings will house all the management and technical personnel required during the scheduled 10 year construction stage of this much needed new nuclear power plant.
 
Almost 1000  steel framed modules will be constructed ‘off site’ at Premier’s state-of- the-art manufacturing facility in East Yorkshire, before being transported to the HPC Site for final assembly and fitting out – a process that will take only 16 months from manufacture to hand over.
 
The proposed EDF HPC will provide reliable, low carbon electricity to meet 7% of UK demand.  During its 60 years of operation, it will avoid around 9 million tonnes of CO2 emissions per year.
 
EDF Energy envisages an estimated 25,000 job opportunities will be created over the construction of the new power station, including 1,000 apprenticeships.  It is also Premier’s intention to contract work, where practical, to companies local to the HPC Site, where it is anticipated that approximately 35% of the work will be completed.  
 
Eugenio De Sa, Managing Director and David Harris, Divisional Director at Premier Interlink report: “We foresee that this project is not only important for Premier but will also be of significant benefit to the local economies in Yorkshire and Somerset in terms of both sub-contractor and supplier opportunities required to support this major construction project.   
 
"Premier will resource this project with the full scope of skills required to deliver the scheme to the excellent standard and quality of product that we and EDF Energy expect and we anticipate taking on a number of apprentices throughout the delivery of the scheme.”
