DALLAS, May 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Jacobs (NYSE:J)
has signed a partnership agreement with NNB Generation Company
(HPC) Ltd (NNB Genco), which is building the Hinkley Point C
nuclear power station in Somerset,
U.K.
The agreement outlines that Jacobs will remain a strategic
partner on the $30 billion project
until the station is commissioned and confirms Jacobs' status as a
preferred supplier in agreed areas of scope and support.
It is the first time that NNB Genco, majority owned by

has signed a partnership agreement with a professional services
provider and it paves the way for similar agreements for HPC and
its wider supply chain.

to invest in our teams so that we can deliver greater value while
helping to create a more connected, sustainable world," said Jacobs
Critical Mission Solutions International Senior Vice President
Clive White. "This project is
critical for the U.K. to meet its net-zero carbon commitments."
Jacobs has been closely involved with the Hinkley Point C
project since the outset, and will continue supporting licensing
and permitting applications to U.K. regulators and acting as
delivery partner for program, project and construction management
services on the earthworks, main civil works, marine works and heat
sink systems. Jacobs also provides a broad range of specialist
engineering and technical services, including equipment
qualification for IT and telecommunications systems, HVAC dampers,
sensors, thermocouples, polar crane, and smart devices and their
associated software. Jacobs' Inspection Validation Centre in
Warrington, U.K. is the project's
sole supplier of independent assessment and assurance for all
aspects of non-destructive testing inspection qualification.
