Progress Update: Work below ground nears completion
/As of 1st April, we’ve almost completed our work below ground to prepare the site’s foundations. The first phase of foundation piling and excavation is ongoing, as the boiler house is excavated and the waste storage bunker groundwork continues to take shape. All of the concrete works, including the capping beams which sit above the piles, will offer support and strength for the main process plant and buildings of the Facility once complete.
With work below ground continuing, we expect above ground work to commence in July 2017 with the construction of the bunker. We will pour concrete 24 hours a day to complete this work, so please keep listening out for more project updates on this.
The major pieces of construction equipment currently on site comprise excavators and dump trucks, and mobile crawler cranes to move construction steel and other materials around the site.
