Kier has been awarded a major contract to construct the main entrance to Sizewell C, supporting the development of new low-carbon energy infrastructure in the UK.
The project will deliver the North Plaza, a 15-hectare site designed to improve access and logistics for the construction of the nuclear power station on the Suffolk coast.
As a key gateway to the Temporary Construction Area, the plaza will include transport hubs, delivery facilities and security infrastructure to streamline operations and reduce inefficiencies.
Efficient site access is expected to support the timely delivery of Sizewell C, which will provide reliable, low-carbon electricity and contribute to emissions reduction and energy security.
The development will also create around 70 jobs, supporting local economic growth while enabling the transition to cleaner energy sources.
Damian Leydon, Sizewell C’s Site Delivery Director, said: “Together, with the support of the Suffolk Chamber of Commerce and local suppliers, we’ll ensure this vital element of the project is delivered as safely and efficiently as possible, while creating meaningful opportunities for local businesses and people.”
Kier will draw on experience from major nuclear projects including Hinkley Point C to deliver the works, ensuring high standards of safety and efficiency.
