Mace and Arup land roles for UK’s first small modular reactor
Mace and Arup have been brought in to help shape the early engineering and delivery strategy for the UK’s first small modular reactor project at Wylfa in North Wales.
Great British Energy–Nuclear has appointed Arup to lead early phase foundation engineering, while Mace will bring programme management expertise for the Anglesey scheme.
They will work alongside Gleeds, LDA Design and TÜV SÜD Nuclear Technologies to develop the site’s first integrated design.
The team will support feasibility work and the preparation of a site-specific concept design as the government pushes ahead with plans to build a fleet of small modular reactors across the UK.
Wylfa has been earmarked as the first location for the technology and is expected to deliver up to 1.5GW of power once operational, with the project forming a key part of the UK’s drive to strengthen energy security and expand low-carbon generation.
