Concentrating on Hinkley Point C and Balfour Beatty\u2019s Marine Works – Connecting Tunnels Under the Bristol Channel (20,000 mm under the seas), November\u2019s British Tunnelling Society meeting is due to be held Thursday 16th November 2023 at 18:00 hrs.<\/p>\n
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
\n– James Long \u2013 Principal Engineer: Temporary Works Coordinator, Balfour Beatty<\/p>\n
