Engineers have just completed the first precision placement of a 5,000-tonne water intake head on the seabed of the Bristol Channel. The work to install the cooling water intake heads is regarded as one of the worldโs most complex marine engineering projects โ as the Bristol Channel has the second highest tidal range on the planet. Each intake head, at 44m long and 8m high, is being lifted into position by two floating cranes named โGulliverโ and โRambizโ, working in tandem. Their...
