Contractor appointed for Sizewell C construction programme

Sizewell C nuclear power station has appointed McLaren Construction as its construction management partner in a three-year deal.

Under the construction management framework agreement, McLaren will supervise and coordinate the construction of Sizewell C’s permanent post-16 college, temporary accommodation campus and amenity building, a project office, and an emergency response building.

The campus and amenity buildings will play a vital role in supporting Sizewell C’s workforce (there are already 2,000 people working onsite) during the construction of the new nuclear power plant on the Suffolk coast.

Vince Lydon, Managing Director for Construction Management and Specialist Projects at McLaren Construction, said: “Delivering construction management services for one of the most nationally significant infrastructure projects in the UK is testament to the track record and capability of our team.

“Through this framework appointment, we are creating long-term local employment opportunities, supporting the community during the construction timeline.”

Damian Leydon, Site Delivery Director of Sizewell C, said: “Only two years after triggering our Development Consent Order, we’re making significant progress onsite here in Suffolk. This contract marks another big step forward, as we look to deliver some key construction projects.”
