PERI formwork system supporting the construction of the reactor dome at Hinkley Point C nuclear power station.

Hinkley Point C
Somerset, United Kingdom

Hinkley Point C is one of the largest infrastructure projects in Europe, involving the construction of two nuclear reactors.

PERI has been a key delivery partner at Hinkley Point C since 2017, contributing to a number of critical construction phases. One of the most technically challenging stages has been the construction of the reactor domes, which demand advanced formwork solutions and precise coordination to manage complex loading conditions.

The reactor domes present intricate geometric and structural challenges, requiring a highly engineered approach. Each dome is constructed as a double-layered structure, comprising an inner and outer shell. For Unit 1, the inner dome was completed in late 2025, with work progressing to the outer dome in early 2026.
