欣克利角 C (HPC) 核电站是欧洲最大、技术最复杂的项目之一。

HPC 是英国一代人以来建造的第一座核电站，其建设需要高技能的劳动力以及最好的建筑和工程解决方案。

The HPC Project is located in Somerset, South West England, and will consist of two nuclear reactors capable of generating 3.2GW of low-carbon electricity.

The new power station is being constructed in the same area as the existing Hinkley Point A and B stations. The former has ceased operation for quite some time, while the latter is decommissioning in 2022.

Dextra 受托为 HPC 部件（特别是反应堆的飞机冲击保护壳）提供混凝土钢筋的机械接头。

More than 2.5 million Griptec couplers are supplied for the construction of HPC.

Griptec is designed to comply with the most stringent project specifications, and has proven to be a popular system of choice for EPR nuclear power stations, having been used for the construction of the Flamanville 3, Taishan 1, and Taishan 2 power stations.

The Griptec mechanical splice consists of two steel sleeves which are swaged onto the end of the reinforcing bars by a specific machine that was designed and patented by Dextra.

该型锻机采用了系统的非破坏性拉力测试。 Griptec 是唯一能够对每个加工棒材进行自动质量控制的连接器系统。

Besides Griptec couplers, Dextra is also supplying 3 million headed bars to the project. These are reinforcing bars that are bent on one side and fitted with an anchorage head on the other side and are used for the transverse reinforcement of concrete slabs, rafts, and walls. They allow a much faster and safer site installation than conventional double-bend bars.

When complete, HPC will provide low-carbon electricity for around six million homes.
