The third and final liner ring has been lifted into place by giant crane, Big Carl, at the Hinkley Point C nuclear power station’s second reactor building.
Engineering teams were able to lift the 423-tonne steel liner ring into place on 14 October, EDF Energy said.
It is the third and final ring to be installed on the building, which will be home to one of Hinkley Point C’s two nuclear reactors. The steel ring, which is 11.6-metres in height and 47-metres in diameter, forms part of the inner containment wall of the reactor building and will now be encased in two layers of concrete.
