EU Win In Energy Sector
One of Europe’s major energy operators Energias De Portugal (EDP), has appointed RVA to provide project management assistance and technical advice during their vast demolition and site clearance project in Portugal.
As the UK’s leading expert of large scale decommissioning, decontamination, dismantling and demolition projects, RVA is supporting EDP throughout the decommissioning and demolition of its 7 hectare power plant in Barreiro, Portugal.
RVA has already helped EDP prepare a detailed project specification and tender documentation, and will play a key role in the contractor selection programme. Following the appointment of a contractor, RVA is available to continue to work with EDP, providing specialist project management support and technical advise as required throughout the programme of works.
The project will include the demolition of several large structures comprising a 1,000m oil and steam pipeline, engine room, boiler, steam turbines, pumping station and two on-site reservoir tanks, each measuring 7,500m³.
Scottish Multi For RVA
River Clyde Homes has selected RVA’s multi-disciplined team, to support them in the demolition of Octavia Court, a 17 storey residential block in Greenock.
RVA’s in-house demolition and CDM experts will work closely with River Clyde Homes to project manage the demolition programme and co-ordinate site operations.
The tower block will be brought down by the controlled use of explosives in early 2011, to allow for the continuation of a large scale regeneration programme. When the site is cleared, work will commence to build 14 new terraced and semi-detached homes that will house up to 56 people.
Vast Jigsaw Completed
A highly complex programme of plant decommissioning, isolation, demolition and ground remediation has been completed at GrowHow UK Limited’s former 100-acre fertiliser production site at Severnside, under the guidance of project management consultants and CDM coordinators RVA.
