Skanska has been appointed by Rolls-Royce SMR to deliver an aseismic bearing pedestal demonstrator for its small modular reactor (SMR).
The structural isolation device plays a critical role in decoupling buildings and infrastructure from ground motion during seismic events, significantly enhancing safety and resilience.
The component will be delivered from Skanska’s fabrications facility in Doncaster. A prototype of the aseismic bearing pedestal will also be built to allow standardisation of the Rolls-Royce SMR design across a range of geotechnical and seismic conditions.
