Seventeen piles were placed evenly in the ground after careful coordination between the engineering and construction teams.<\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once commissioned, BEPPS2<\/a> 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.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stephen Hodgson, operations director, said:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0“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.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI continue to be grateful for the entire project team’s unwavering commitment to high standards and delivery excellence.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
