Balfour Beatty has won a £214m contract to install the first live T-pylons in the country at Hinkley Point C nuclear power station.
The north and south 400kV overhead line project, awarded through the National Grid’s Overhead Line Design and Build Framework, is one of three awards within the framework and is part of the Hinkley Point C connection scheme, linking the new nuclear reactor to the national grid.
Balfour Beatty will design, supply, install, test and commission a new overhead line spanning 48.4km and crossing through the Mendip Hills in Somerset. On completion, the new line will connect Hinkley Point C with a new substation in Avonmouth, Bristol.
