Proven Success

Case Study : Infrastructure Expansion

Hpc2

Hinkley Point C

Coreplan provided full planning support including programme development, NEC compliance, progress tracking and delay analysis on a complex nuclear infrastructure project.

The work required detailed integration of procurement, documentation and construction activities. A detailed programme was developed using experience and data from a comparable previous project, helping the delivery team identify key risks, opportunities and critical interfaces at an early stage.

Ongoing planning advice supported the client in understanding programme risk, maintaining an accurate delivery position and developing Extension of Time submissions where required.

Outcome: Improved programme accuracy, earlier identification of risk and a stronger basis for programme management and EOT negotiation
