Nuclear Development at Hinkley Point 

Air Quality Monitors (UK) is proud to be working with EDF Energy on the nuclear development at Hinkley Point, Somerset. AQM has provided Indicative Particulate Monitors, which are coupled with its unique and innovative, real time, software solution, Dust Data. Dust Data not only enables EDF Energy to provide information to statutory bodies such as the Environment Agency but the software has been specially adapted by AQM to enable wider access by consultants and community partners including local authorities or county councils, giving transparency of the information being collected. AQM is commissioned to provide a complete backup service which includes servicing and calibration of the monitors.

AQM Sales Director, Adam Gray “We are delighted to be working with EDF Energy as they develop and build the next generation of power stations and we've worked hard to tailor our software to suit their needs for this exciting project. Dust Data will ensure that EDF Energy has instant access to real time data as well as providing access protocols for outside parties such as county councils and local authorities. As part of the EDF Energy supply chain, we hope to build on the work at Hinkley and provide our complete dust monitoring solutions for them on other sites”

Jamie Driver EDF Energy Senior Supply Chain Specialist said “It’s great to see AQM as part of the supply chain in the South West already delivering for the proposed new power station in Somerset. Hinkley Point C is expected to create up to 25,000 jobs and add £100 million each year to the regional economy during construction.”

AQM, formed in 2011, has grown rapidly in the last 12 months and brings together over 40 years’ experience in air quality monitoring and environmental services. This latest customer acquisition confirms AQM’s competitiveness in this industry. The company continues to grow and has recently moved to new offices in Exeter to accommodate this expansion.
