Carrington CCGT Power Station

• High tolerance construction of the turbine blocks demanded precise installation of holding down bolts and embedment plates, where even minimal deviation could have affected turbine alignment and long-term performance.
• The main turbine hall foundations involved numerous interfaces with mechanical and electrical systems, necessitating meticulous sequencing and coordination to avoid clashes and maintain programme integrity.
• Extensive below ground drainage installation and the construction of blast-wall foundations added further complexity, with dense reinforcement, congested underground corridors, and strict structural performance requirements.
• Operating within a live environment heightened the need for controlled access, vibration management, and robust safety protocols.

The project delivered strong technical outcomes, achieving turbine block tolerances and concrete standards on first inspection. Effective interface management with the client and M&E teams ensured seamless sequencing and minimal rework. Rigorous quality control across all foundation and drainage works enabled safe, incident-free delivery of this critical infrastructure scheme.
