Although Internal-Ring-Propping (IRP) is not uncommon and has been used on many projects in order to supporting the main tunnel while excavating a cross-passage, Balfour Beatty\u2019s IRP system for Hinkley Point C Offshore Connections, which sits just 20,000 mm under the Bristol Channel, is one of a kind.<\/p>\n

Providing an overview of the Tunnel-Shaft Connections and sharing their journey through the requirements for the design, manufacturing, and installation phase of this unique propping-system at Hinkley Point C, will be the purposes of Balfour Beatty’s presentation.<\/p>\n

Speakers:<\/b>
\n– Christoph Huber \u2013 Agent Steel Structures: Tunnel Shaft Connection, Balfour Beatty
