The first new nuclear power plant to be built in the UK in over 20 years, Hinkley Point C (HPC) is a 3,200 MW nuclear power plant with two on-site EPR reactors. The plant will provide zero-carbon electricity and help secure a diverse and balanced energy supply for the UK.

Arabelle Services UK Ltd (former GE Steam Power Ltd) supplies two conventional power islands for Hinkley Point C nuclear power plant. The turbine halls will contain the Arabelle turbine, the largest and most powerful steam turbine to be in operation, and other critical equipment.

In September 2021, ENKA signed a contract with Arabelle Services UK Ltd for the prefabrication and erection of piping systems for the conventional power island. ENKA’s responsibilities include the installation of high-pressure piping and their supports, the prefabrication, delivery, and installation of intermediate-pressure and low-pressure piping, the prefabrication and assembly of HDPE and GRP piping as well as their supports, and installation and assembly of fire protection equipment and piping systems. ENKA will also provide commissioning support and material management services to Arabelle Services UK Ltd. Pipe spool prefabrication, supply and prefabrication of pipe supports are to be carried out at ENKA subsidiary Cimtas Pipe’s facilities, with the products shipped from there to the construction site.

In July 2024, ENKA entered into a contract with Arabelle Services UK Ltd for the check of design, procurement, and delivery of insulation materials, as well as the installation of thermal insulation for both piping and equipment in the turbine hall. Additionally, pipe painting and electrical heat tracing are included as optional scopes in the package.
