About MCLAREN CONSTRUCTION LIMITED
Sizewell C has appointed McLaren Construction as its construction management partner in a three-year deal. Under the construction management framework agreement, McLaren will deliver the 2,400-bed campus for site workers, hailed as setting new standards in site accommodation. The scheme will see 16 residential blocks of three and four storeys built to house the incoming workforce.
McLaren will also supervise and coordinate the construction of Sizewell C’s permanent post-16 college, temporary accommodation campus and amenity building, a project office, and an emergency response building. As part of a wider delivery team, McLaren brings experience in managing complex environments, with a strong focus on safety, sustainability, and efficient programme delivery, while also contributing to local employment and skills development.
Working at Sizewell C presents particular logistical complexities, especially in relation to commuting. The site is located in a relatively remote coastal area with limited existing transport infrastructure, which can make daily travel challenging. To mitigate this, the project incorporates extensive worker transport strategies, including park-and-ride schemes, dedicated bus services, and careful management of traffic flows to reduce impact on local communities. Despite these measures, the scale of the workforce and the site’s location mean that journey planning, travel times, and accommodation arrangements remain important considerations for both employees and contractors operating on the project. Direct on site parking is not available, use of designated parking areas and then shuttle buses are available, shuttle buses are also available from local train station.
