Hinkley Point C completes tunnelling fish return system

Tunnelling has been completed for a fish return system at the UK’s Hinkley Point C nuclear power station.

Excavation of the 620m-long, 1.8m-diameter tunnel, which runs under the Bristol Channel, was completed in five months.

TBM Sarah Guppy has been retrieved from the seabed by a floating crane and will be cleaned before being put to use on another site.
