The Pride of Platforms initiative at Hinkley Point C recognises and rewards the best platforms on site and teams who go above and beyond to deliver their work to the highest safety standards and welfare practices.
SPS was chosen as the winner in the Operational Support category based on their demonstration of good signage, clear access arrangements and welfare facilities, as well as a great focus on health, safety, and the environment. This is well deserved recognition from the HPC project and highlights the highest level of safety standards that have been achieved. This is another fantastic achievement for SPS who also scooped 2 awards in at the HPC Excellence Awards in November 2021.
