At Hinkley Point C building two new nuclear reactors, the first in a new generation of nuclear power stations in Britain providing zero-carbon electricity for around six million homes. The electricity generated by its two EPR reactors will offset 9 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions a year, or 600 million tonnes over its 60-year lifespan. Hinkley Point C’s contribution to fighting climate change means that during its 60 years of operation it will have a large, positive impact on the environment.Balfour Beatty are delivering one of the most complex marine engineering projects currently taking place in the world to support the construction of the first new nuclear power station built in the UK in a generation. The project having the construction of three tunnels under the seabed that will supply the two reactors at Hinkley Point C with cooling water and then discharge it back into the Bristol Channel. Excavating a total of nine kilometres of tunnel, which will be lined with 38,000 concrete segments forming 6000 lining rings. The tunnels will be connected to the seabed by vertical shafts and capped with large intake and outfall heads, each weighing close to 5000 tonnes, that allow sea water to pass into the tunnels.TunnellingThree Tunnel Boring Machines will use rotating cutting wheels to excavate two 3.5km intake tunnels and one 1.8km outfall tunnel. As the machine cuts through the rock, it will line the tunnel with a ring of concrete segments. A further 800 metres of underground access and service tunnels are also being excavated and reinforced using a method known as sprayed concrete lining.Outfall and intake headsThe tunnels will be capped with four intake and two outfall head structures. The largest heads will be 44-metres long (roughly the length of four double-decker buses), around eight metres high and weigh in at just under 5,000 tonnes. These structures are the most complex and dense reinforcement structures across the Hinkley Point C Project.

Rudraprayag, Uttarakhand, India

Worked as Supervisor Geologist on RVNL Project of construction of Tunnels & Bridges works from Chain age 101+310 to 117+365 under PKG - 8 in connection with New BG Line between Rishikesh and Karnaprayag (125kms) in state of Uttarakhand.The new Broad Gauge (BG) Railway line between Rishikesh and Karnprayag is a very important development project undertaken by Ministry of Railway. The project is considered to be of national strategic importance and is being tracked on the Central Government’s PRAGATI (Pro Active Governance and Timely Implementation) portal. The project is estimated to cost Rs. 16,200 crore, create 2000+ jobs, and will reduce the travel time between Rishikesh and Karnaprayag from 7 hours to just over 2 hours.The entire length of the new line falls in GARHWAL HIMALAYAN RANGE. To complete the project in time tunnelling works have been divided in 10 packages. Along its route, 105.47 km (84.24%) of it will consist of 35 bridges and 17 tunnels including a 15.1 km tunnel, one of the longest in the country. The objective of providing Rail link between Rishikesh and Karnaprayag is for facilitating easy access to pilgrimage centres situated in the state of Uttarakhand, connecting new trade centres, development of backward areas and to serve the population living in the area. The proposed railway line will connect important towns like Devprayag, Srinagar, Rudraprayag, Gauchar and Karnaprayag through 5 districts of Uttarakhand, i.e. Dehradun, Tehri Garhwal, Pauri Garhwal, Rudraprayag and Chamoli.

Pune, Maharashtra, India

Mumbai Pune Expressway’s 13.3 km "MISSING LINK"project by MSRDC is 8 lane access - controlled highway with a route alignment connecting Khopoli to Kusgaon. The link with a string of viaducts, tunnels and bridges aims to bypass Khandala Ghat’s hairpin turns which are prone to landslides. The length of existing Mumbai Pune Expressway section from Khopoli exit to Sinhgad Institute is presently 19 kms. This distance will be reduced to 13.3 kms after construction of this new missing link. So, the total length of Expressway from Mumbai to Pune will be decreased by 6kms. Travel time will be reduced by 20-25 mins. and provide a straighter route.The project was approved for construction by Maharashtra Government. The project comprises of two twin tunnels (1.75 km & 8.92 km), two cable stayed bridges (770m & 645m), one small bridge, culverts (11 pipe culverts and two box culverts). The 645m cable stayed bridge will comprise of 170m tall parallel piers with decks approximately 100m above the ground. The project will ensure that the existing six lanes on the stretch are turned into eight lanes. The entire stretch of 13.3 km will be divided into two tunnels - one of 1.75 km and the other of 8.92 km - and two bridges (viaducts) of 790m and 650m; all of which will have eight lanes.
