Global leader in steel solutions, William Hare Group is pleased to announce that it has been awarded the contract to deliver structural steelwork for the new amenity building at Sizewell C nuclear power station.

The amenity building will play a vital role in supporting Sizewell C’s out-of-area workforce, who will be housed at the accommodation campus during construction of the power station, currently underway on the Suffolk coast.

The contract involves the fabrication 550 tonnes of steel at Hare’s flagship facility in Scarborough, which is home to the UK’s first fabrication robot - enabling high-volume, high-quality production of traditional beam and column structures on fast-track schedules.

This steel will then be erected to create a two-storey steel frame structure for the building with work expected to start on site before the end of 2025

Craig Arnold, Director, William Hare Limited, said: “William Hare has some 50 years continuous engagement in the highly specialised Nuclear Sector. This experience encompasses nuclear reprocessing, new fuels complexes, civil and defence decommissioning, research facilities, and most recently a major contribution to the Hinkley Point C project. We are therefore delighted to bring that depth of learning and experience to Sizewell C.”

The contract forms part of Sizewell C’s commitment to provide 70% of its construction value to UK businesses.

Nigel Cann, Joint Managing Director of Sizewell C, said: “We are committed to supporting the UK steel industry as we build Sizewell C, and I’m delighted we’ve been able to award this contract to a company with a proven track record of delivering high-quality work in this country.

“This is also great news for the North of England, where we’ve already committed to investing £2.5 billion during the construction of our project. This investment will support thousands of jobs and create a skills legacy for decades to come.”

Lord Vallance, Minister for Science, Innovation, Research and Nuclear, said: “Our clean power mission is not only about strengthening our energy security, but also developing British supply chains.

“Building Sizewell C on the Suffolk coast will provide homegrown energy to millions for generations while supporting good jobs in communities like Scarborough.”

Tony Whitten, Operations Director at William Hare Limited, added: “This project represents another significant step in our continued support of the UK’s nuclear infrastructure, and we’re excited to bring our expertise in complex steelwork to such a critical development.
