Modulift

Specialist lifting equipment manufacturer Modulift is facilitating civil engineering installation works at Hinkley Point C. One milestone moment saw the 730-tonne reactor cavity precast pool installed with Modulift underslung beams and “Big Carl,” the world’s largest crane. This marks a significant step towards the UK’s first new nuclear power station in over a generation.

BYLOR, a joint venture of Bouygues Travaux Publics and Laing O’Rourke, is the contractor delivering Hinkley Point C’s main civil engineering works. Appointed in 2022 due to its ability to innovate and modify beyond standard lifting equipment, Modulift has delivered bespoke lifting systems tailored to the unique demands of this major infrastructure project. Sarah Spivey, Managing Director at Modulift said “All lifting equipment is precisely designed using state-of-the-art engineering technology and Finite Element Studies. By leveraging our engineering expertise and 20+ years of experience in the nuclear sector, we ensure all lifting equipment adheres to rigorous UK compliance standards such as BS EN. We are proud to be part of such a critical energy infrastructure project”.

Artur Osicki, Temporary Works Lead at Bylor said “Modulift custom lifting beams play a crucial role in the ongoing construction of Hinkley Point C, supporting the installation of key infrastructure elements. Modulift’s reputation for precision engineering and quality assurance provides us with the confidence that all equipment complies with regulations for the UK market. Each custom piece of equipment comes with comprehensive User Instructions ensuring safe and efficient operations on site.”

Once complete, Hinkley Point C is expected to deliver zero-carbon electricity to approximately 6 million homes, solidifying its place at the forefront of the UK’s clean energy transition.
