We’re proud to announce that Morson Praxis, together with EDF, has won the Gold Award for Best Collaborative Team at the 2025 HPC Project Excellence Awards, recognising outstanding achievement across one of Europe’s largest and most complex infrastructure programmes.
This award reflects the exceptional effort, expertise, and collaborative mindset of our team, as well as the growing impact of the HPC Innovation Programme, which is transforming how next-generation nuclear power plants are delivered.
The winning team, made up of representatives of different stakeholders and led by EDF and Morson Praxis colleagues, has delivered strategic construction optimisations that streamline civil workflows across the entire construction site. This includes a pioneering process that allows pre-approved adjustments to be incorporated directly into designers’ 3D reinforcement models, speeding up delivery while maintaining stringent regulatory controls. The team has also advanced the use of prefabricated reinforcement cages and precast modules to unlock parallel progress, an approach internally named a “Large Modular Reactor” philosophy due to its scale and modular efficiency.
These achievements were made possible through building strong relationships, trust, and a shared “One Team” approach across all partners. We’re proud to recognise the Morson Praxis colleagues central to this success: Patryk Skrzypacz, Ibrahim Uz Zaman Sayyed, Peter Cliffin, and Efosa Otabor. Their leadership, technical expertise, and commitment to innovation continue to drive major efficiencies for EDF and the wider EPR reactors programme in the UK.
Patryk Skrzypacz, HPC Technical Directorate at EDF, shared:
“I truly believe that unity and cooperation are essential when facing major challenges. Together, we have demonstrated that EPR reactors can combine world-leading safety features with global competitiveness. By collaborating, removing barriers, and fostering needed flexibility, we are achieving success through aligned stakeholders and controlled optimisations.
