Hinckley Point nuclear power plant
Hinkley Point C is a nuclear power station under construction in Somerset, south-west England. The project comprises two EPR reactors and is expected to generate enough electricity to supply around six million homes in the United Kingdom.
ENECA’s scope covered piping design and steel detailing for maintenance platforms serving three electric steam boilers, each rated at 27 MW, and associated feedwater tanks. The work also included layout and installation planning for the electric boilers and deaeration tanks.
The scope of work included:
- Structural analysis of the maintenance platforms.
- Design calculations for steel connections.
- Preparation of fabrication and erection drawings for the platforms.
- Piping design and detailing.
- Equipment layout and installation planning for the electric boilers and deaeration tanks.
Based on their experience, I can recommend Eneca.
Ridgway Facades has found the collaboration with Eneca Group to be constructive on various projects, including BIM modeling LOD 300-400 and drawings development.
Eneca's team effectively handled the BIM modeling of framing and curtain wall components in Autodesk Revit. The delivery across different BIM levels, as outlined in the BIM Execution Plan, met our expectations. The coordinated Revit models and COBie parameter input were completed as required.
We appreciate the professionalism demonstrated by Eneca Group throughout our partnership.
We appreciate Eneca’s readiness to support us with BIM modeling on short notice, as well as their flexibility in providing the necessary resources to meet a strict deadline. All modeling was completed within two weeks, with a division into lots. Eneca’s specialists were always willing to take the time to discuss our concerns and accommodate additional requests.
Eneca’s strong expertise in Revit and professional experience in structural design enabled their team to quickly grasp Implenia’s high modeling requirements. The BIM model was developed in accordance with the 3D BKP Model guidelines and Implenia’s standards, ensuring compliance with parameter and element naming rules as per Baukostenplan Hochbau. Eneca’s detail-oriented and structured approach contributed to the creation of a high-quality BKP model aimed at automating the calculation of construction volumes and costs.
I am pleased with the quality of services provided by ENECA and can confidently recommend them to others in need of similar BIM modeling services.
