Bouygues and Laing O鈥橰ourke have placed a 200,000 tonne steel order for the Hinkley Point C project, as contractors continue to gear up to deliver the troubled nuclear plant.

Welsh rebar engineer Express Reinforcements has been named preferred bidder for the package, understood to be worth over 拢100m.

Rebar will be supplied from the firm鈥檚 Neath and Newport manufacturing centres, using steel supplied by CELSA Steel in Cardiff.
