Ferrovial lands £230m Nationwide Grid tunnel
Work will originate up on space quickly and remaining four years to construct a brand fresh 2.2km prolonged excessive voltage cable tunnel and two 35m deep shafts.
The job will be overseen by an integrated joint mission between Ferrovial Construction and BEMO.
The JV may presumably well well be the utilization of a Vertical Shaft Sinking Machine (VSM) taking into account simultaneous excavation and installation of the remaining lining from the surface, vastly reducing constructing time, minimizing environmental impact and ensuring the ideally suited stage of safety right through operation.
The VSM is also frail below groundwater, making it supreme for the Grain to Tilbury venture. This would presumably well presumably simplest be the second time that this kind has been frail within the UK.
The venture is phase of a broader suite of infrastructure enhancements deliberate by Nationwide Grid as phase of The Gigantic Grid Upgrade forming considerable overhaul of the UK’s electrical energy network in generations.
