Wylfa Newydd Nuclear Power Station

Satisfying regulatory requirements for a proposed nuclear power plant

The proposed Wylfa Newydd nuclear power station is a £16 billion infrastructure project. Our client required specialist support and added capacity to its in-house acoustics team during preparation of the Development Consent Order for the project. We assumed responsibility for the preparation of the Environmental Statement (ES) chapters for the environmental impact assessment (EIA) for construction and operation noise and vibration. We predicted, assessed, mitigated, and prepared noise and vibration-related ES chapters over 12 months. The consent documentation was completed to demanding timescales and received environmental approval from the European Commission.
