Installation of the first phase of demolition equipment for dismantling of the iconic 70-year-old Pile 1 chimney at Sellafield. The project involved:
The work was carried out in a high radiation / contamination area which required additional workforce training and working procedures to be implemented. This caused some delays to the schedule, but we worked in collaboration with our client and the piling contractor to recover the schedule.
The work was carried out in a high security area of the site with access restrictions. This required us to manage labour, plant and material logistics in and out of the site in close collaboration with our client and the security department. This involved accurate forecasting and planning by providing a 3 week logistics look ahead plan – continually detailing all labour, plant and material access requirements.
We discovered a significant amount of uncharted buried cables, pipework and underground structures during excavation. To overcome this, we used Vacuum Excavation which accelerated the works, mitigated the schedule delays and reduced the safety hazard of hand digging in this area.
Due to the limited availability of a manufacturing slot for the tower crane manufacture, our client had an immoveable milestone to complete the tower crane base in time for delivery of the crane. The crane base construction was the critical path for this project – and we achieved the milestone, allowing our client to install the crane on time.
