Episode 1

In this episode, we follow Mike Murphy, one of Hinkley’s Area Construction leads, as he oversees a critical operation to create one of the two giant super-strong nuclear reactor foundations. Mike and his team must undertake a 3-day continuous concrete pour to create the perfect base for one of the two reactors to sit on. Once they start pouring the special concrete mix they cannot stop, or the foundation could be ruined setting the project back by months. If they succeed, they will have completed the UK’s largest reinforced concrete pour ever.
