Under the project’s marine works contract Balfour Beatty has constructed the power station’s primary cooling water infrastructure, comprising approximately 10km of tunnels both onshore and beneath the Bristol Channel. This included the first of their kind offshore connections, which enable sea water to enter via embedded intake heads and spent water to discharge via a combined outfall system.
The three speakers – Barry Gilsenan, senior tunnel manager, Balfour Beatty; Joseph Hardwick, engineering manager Balfour Beatty; and David Maddison, associate director of tunnelling, Jacobs – will describe how they delivered these offshore connections.
The lecture will be held 18:00 (BST) on Thursday, April 16 at the Institution of Civil Engineers, One Great George Street, London SW1P 3AA. It will also be streamed live.
