Context and challenges
The purpose of the project was to build two EPR (European Pressurised Reactor) units at a nuclear power plant in England, with commissioning scheduled for 2025 and an estimated budget of €20 billion.
The client, a leader in the industrial sector, performed all the design work in its role as Responsible Designer on behalf of the organisation responsible for the construction aspects.
The goals of the project were:
- Effective management of costs and scheduling
- Effective management of contractual commitments to future operator of nuclear power plant
With these goals in mind, the client called on Assystem for a PMO mission covering the CI/BoP (Conventional Island/Balance of Plant) scope.
