Ferrybridge Power Station

GLS completed a full site survey of the work area and designed the safe systems of work to ensure the recovery works were completed safely. GLS worked with all stakeholders to ensure that no other works were jeopardised. The works were planned and daily toolbox talks communicated with others on site. The insulating oil was flushed through the cable using the GLS designed compressed air and vacuum pumping system which was connected directly to the cable. All stop joints were excavated and flushed through to remove residual oil. The cable was excavated in approx. 50 meter sections and all cut ends sealed to prevent and residual oil spillage. Sections of the cable were pulled through under a haul road, the cores were anchored to prevent them being pulled out of the sheath. Each 50 meter section was placed in a waiting skip for recycling off site.
