Hinkley Point B Nuclear Power Station

Foundation Bolt Supply for UK Nuclear Infrastructure

RCF Bolt & Nut supported works at Hinkley Point B, a major nuclear power station located on the Somerset coastline. As a long-established UK supplier of industrial fasteners, we were selected to provide a complete package of foundation bolt assemblies and structural fixings for use within a high-demand infrastructure environment.

Due to the scale and technical requirements of the project, the order included a range of specialist components designed to support safe, stable installation into concrete foundations. These included foundation bolts, nuts, flat washers, square plate washers, and protective cones, supplied to specification for use in structural anchoring applications.

As part of the project scope, the customer required modifications to the bolt head design to ensure improved seating within the plate washer and to optimise stability during installation. These adjustments were essential for ensuring correct alignment, reliable load distribution, and long-term performance once the components were embedded into the concrete structure.

To meet these requirements, our team ensured the modified components were produced efficiently while maintaining strict consistency across dimensions, tolerances, and quality control. With delivery planning and production flexibility playing a key role, RCF Bolt & Nut ensured the required fixings were supplied in line with the project schedule and without disruption to the wider construction programme.

This project highlights our ability to support complex infrastructure and energy sector work through bespoke fastener manufacturing, responsive supply management, and dependable turnaround on specialist components.

For customers working on large-scale engineering and construction projects, RCF Bolt & Nut continues to provide tailored fastening solutions including holding down bolts, threaded bar, structural washers, and custom-built foundation fixings manufactured to suit specific project requirements.
