Hinkley Point C - Intake 2 Tunnel Shutter being launched

This week another great milestone has been achieved at Hinley Point C.
The crown formwork, has been lowered into the pit bottom and after the installation completion, the shutter will be ready to pour the last section of the Intake 2 Tunnel with diameter of 6.0m.
The machine has been develped by Kern, paying particular attention to the safety of workers during operations and keeping the ventilation system in place.
A huge thank to the KERN and Balfour Beatty team, for their effort and partnership in this outstanding part of the project.
