Marine Works
Between 2025 and 2035, the construction of the Sizewell C Nuclear Power Station will comprise various marine elements. A permanent Beach Landing Facility, will be constructed to facilitate the delivery of various materials and components by water, rather than by rail or road.
A temporary jetty called a Marine Bulk Import Facility is also proposed, which will allow large north sea barges to berth up close to the site to off-load aggregate. There will also be a variety of intake and outfall tunnels built in the harbour below the seabed to provide water to the nuclear plant.
The proposed marine components are shown in the image below:
Marine Works Programme
There will be extensive activity within the harbour from September 2025 onwards. The programme below shows the indicative start and end points of marine works up until the end of 2027.
