Over the past few weeks, the project team has been working on the following:
- B4 GT2 Building above grade superstructure and turbine demolition at 50% (plus) complete
- B8 Yorkshire Switchgear above grade building demolition is complete
- B26 – EPS diesel engine mechanical disassembly at approximately 15% complete
- Building cleanout in B2 Training Centre , B6 OPS and B4 GT2 are 95% complete
- Oil removal from internal pipework ongoing in B6 OPS from D14 & D15 mechanical systems presently to allow demolition of mechanical systems
The project plan for the next few weeks includes:
- B7 GEC building demolition of switchgear and building
- B6 OPS demolition of west end of building (ie D14 & D15 engine bays) following completion of interior mechanical demolition
When demolition is occurring our neighbours and passersby may notice the following disturbances:
- Demolition noise from the construction equipment, which will be mitigated by limiting work to daytime production hours only (ie. 7:00am to 4:00pm)
- Localised airbourne dust, which will be mitigated by mist mechanisms and stockpile covers
- Increased truck traffic along Cemetery Road to remove building materials and engine components, which will be mitigated by flag men while trucks enter and exit the demolition site.
SAFETY & SIGNAGE
Project safety signage and project barriers are in place surrounding all demolition and work/project areas. All project areas are limited to the BELCO Serpentine Road campus only.
We ask our neighbours, passersby and campus visitors/guests to observe all safety signage and to not enter or attempt to enter any marked project areas in order to protect the safety of everyone.
