Barking Power Station - Decommissioning of Cooling Water Tunnels

Tender description

The City of London Corporation (the City) invites Tenders for the provision of Decommissioning of Water Cooling Tunnels at Barking Power Station Site. The project entails decommissioning of the two cooling water tunnels: the intake and outfall with associated headworks. The proposed works consider that the tunnels under the land are to be backfilled. The objective of the backfilling is to meet the requirement of existing deeds for the tunnels. Filling the tunnels ensures that in the event of tunnel collapse due to lining degradation, there will not be significant settlement in the ground above the tunnel. The pump station is to be partially demolished and backfilled to allow the redevelopment of the site. The outfall structure in the River Thames is to be demolished to remove a navigation hazard.
