Hinkley Point C is a nuclear power station that is expected to make a major contribution to the UK’s move to reduce carbon emissions. The electricity generated by its two European Pressurised Water Reactors reactors will offset 9 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions a year, or 600 million tonnes over its 60-year lifespan, whilst providing low-carbon electricity for around 6 million homes.
ITI Group’s supervisory control and data acquisition (Scada) system and network engineering works for the temporary control room will monitor the internal working environment of the electrical buildings and turbine halls to ensure personnel safety.
ITI Group will provide a turnkey solution, managing the design and manufacture through to installation and commissioning, including responsibility for cyber security of the Codra Panorama Scada system, network cabinets, and operator workstations within the temporary control room.
This is ITI’s second project at Hinkley Point C, having previously been chosen to design, build and deliver the safety, control and instrumentation systems for the heating, ventilation, air conditioning systems for electrical buildings, the turbine halls and their associated buildings.
