The Hinkley Technical Support Alliance (HTSA) agreement will last for five years with an optional five-year extension.
Wood will provide EDF Energy with full life cycle services to improve project delivery and commercial performance.
Covering technical and engineering services across all elements of the project, the HTSA agreement is also expected to improve the project鈥檚 technical supply chain delivery.
Wood already provides similar professional services to EDF Energy Nuclear Generation under a long-term agreement to support the UK鈥檚 eight existing nuclear power stations.
At Hinkley Point C, Wood provides construction design management advisory services, safety case and engineering support, and equipment qualification services in several key areas. Wood is also the project鈥檚 sole supplier for independent verification of ultrasound inspections on safety critical components.
Bob MacDonald, CEO of Wood鈥檚 Specialist Technical Solutions business, said: 鈥淲e are looking forward to providing additional support to EDF Energy on a project which is vital to the UK鈥檚 energy security and the transition to a lower carbon energy mix. This positions us as a key strategic partner at Hinkley Point C, maintaining our track record of playing a key role in every UK nuclear new build project since the inception of the industry.鈥�
