Hinkley Point C

UK

​At the Hinkley Point C nuclear power plant construction site in the United Kingdom, we deployed our DCS 61-S system to manage anti-collision for a remarkable array of tower cranes operating simultaneously in an extremely high-density environment. Up to 60 tower cranes were installed on site, including trolley jib cranes, luffing jib cranes, and several units mounted on rail tracks. All of these cranes were equipped with AMCS anti-collision systems. This complex setup required precise coordination of working zones, lifting heights, and mobile movements across the entire site. Launched in 2018, the project involves the construction of two EPR reactors that will supply low-carbon electricity to over 6 million homes. It is one of the largest infrastructure projects in Europe. ​

CThe site also features Big Carl (SGC-250), the largest crane in the world, used to lift massive prefabricated components—an approach that helps optimize timelines and reduce work-at-height risks. Thanks to the DCS 61-S technology, lifting operations have been conducted with high levels of safety, efficiency, and coordination, contributing to the success of this strategic project for the UK’s energy future. ​
