elated goods, over a period of approximately six years. A laydown area will alsobe provided adjacent to Combwich Wharf.2.2 Hinkley Point C Project Construction Programme2.2.1 As illustrated in Figure 2.1, the Hinkley Point C construction programme isanticipated to commence with the site preparation works in spring 2011, followed bythe main construction in summer 2012, through the Development Consent granted bythe IPC. The overall construction phase is anticipated to take approximately 9 years,with the first UK EPR reactor unit operational in 2018, and the second UK EPRreactor unit operational approximately 18 months later.2.2.2 Some landscape restoration to the south of the southern construction phase area willbe undertaken early in the construction phase to provide early screening from theconstruction works. The final landscape restoration works will commence once theconstruction phase is complete and Hinkley Point C is operational. Initially the sitewill be cleared, including the on-site accommodation campus, and then the HinkleyPoint C Development Site will be landscaped which will take up to three years tocomplete.2.2.3 In summary the construction schedule is currently estimated to be as set out below.However, the schedule is dependent on external factors, which are not within thecontrol of EDF Energy, so a timescale of activities is more reliable than precise dates: Commence site preparation works spring 2011 (subject to consent); Commence construction of the temporary jetty late 2011 (subject to consent); Construction of Hinkley Point C commences (subject to the grant of DevelopmentConsent) in summer 2012; Jetty completion and commissioning in late 2012; Completion and commencement of operation of the first UK EPR reactor unit in2018; Completion and commencement of operation of the second UK EPR reactor unit18 months following the first unit; Dismantling and removal of the temporary jetty within three years of the secondUK EPR reactor unit becoming operational; and Restoration of the Hinkley Point C Development Site within three years of thesecond UK EPR reactor unit becoming operational.2.2.4 This schedule is based on the assumption that the temporary jetty will be grantedconsent and construction will commence in late 2011. The jetty will takeapproximately one year to construct, which includes a period for delays in theconstruction programme as a result of any adverse weather conditions (‘weatherrisk’). As such, there is expected to be a period of up to six months between the startof the main construction works and completion of the jetty construction; during thisperiod materials will be transported to the site via the road network.8 DRAFT | Overview of HPC Construction | February 2011
