Our Box Encapsulation Plant Product Store Two (BEPPS2) continues to deliver at pace as they complete piling works almost two weeks ahead of schedule.
Seventeen piles were placed evenly in the ground after careful coordination between the engineering and construction teams.
Completion of the works means the team can proceed with excavating the ground to a suitable depth to commence construction of the building service tunnel, which will link BEP to BEPPS2, for the safe transportation of materials for storage.
Once commissioned, BEPPS2 will provide additional storage capacity for intermediate-level waste packages arising from the site’s retrievals and remediation programmes. When full, it will hold approximately 7,500 packages across two vaults.
Stephen Hodgson, operations director, said:
“This is a significant milestone and achievement that has only been achieved by working collaboratively with our key delivery partner, Sir Robert McAlpine, and their supply chain partner, Bauer.
“I continue to be grateful for the entire project team’s unwavering commitment to high standards and delivery excellence.”
