AtkinsRéalis has signed a new five-year framework agreement to continue its civil works role at Sizewell C, the new 3.2 GW nuclear plant in Suffolk.

The firm will act as design partner for the permanent civil works, providing multidisciplinary design and engineering services across the permanent plant design at Sizewell C.

This builds on the extensive role AtkinsRéalis has played to date across planning, consenting and enabling work phases at Sizewell C.

“AtkinsRéalis has played a significant role in design and engineering management at Sizewell C since 2019 , bringing knowledge, experience and learnings from a decade of delivery at Hinkley Point C,” said Joe St. Julian, president, nuclear, AtkinsRéalis.

“Our design and engineering teams have pioneered new digital technology and data-led design to streamline schedules, increase certainty and mitigate program risks at Sizewell C. This new agreement renews our commitment to realising the full benefits of replication and unlocking even greater efficiencies through excellence in delivery,”
