Section 4: Scope of Works Supply only of 4no. Bulkheads highlighted in red the overhead drawing no.3350-BAMNU-HAMPS-450-CZ-DR- 200027 Hammersmith site has requirement for bulkheads that will close openings that have been cast into Wall A. Their primary function is to protect the Chamber as the Inlet Channel breaks through into the new structure.
