Bouygues Travaux Publics (TP) and Laing O'Rourke, two of Europe's most dynamic engineering and construction specialists, are working together in a joint venture named BYLOR to deliver the main civil engineering works at Hinkley Point C (HPC) worth over £2.8 billion. Together, as BYLOR, these two companies will construct the buildings that will house the two EPR nuclear reactors at HPC, showcasing the best of UK and European engineering design capability, technical expertise and project leadership. The BYLOR joint venture is a unique form of project delivery, bringing together the expertise of two specialist teams, to focus on challenge and innovation to achieve project delivery on time and within budget. Hinkley Point C (HPC) will be the first new nuclear power station in a generation. Situated on the North Somerset Coast it will power around 6 million homes with safe, secure and low carbon electricity. HPC is one of the largest and most complex projects in Europe and will take 10 years to complete. At the peak of construction 5,600 people will be working at the site and over the course of the project some 25,000 employment opportunities will be created.
