Over the past few weeks, our ARP team has been working on the following:
- As a reminder, Cemetery Road will remain closed until July 1, 2022.
- B26 (E1-E4 Powerhouse) mechanical demolition of engines and auxiliaries is approximately 60% completed at this time (E1, E2, E3 & E4).
- E3 and E4 Engines have been disassembled and removed from B26 (E1-E4 Powerhouse) for disposal.
- B6 (Old Power Station) demolition is in progress with the western bay superstructure approximately 20% completed.
- B31 (GT 4 Control Room), B33 (GT Turbine) and B34 (GT4 Fuel Treatment room) demolition are 100% completed.
- B43 (GT3E Turbine), B44 (GT3F Turbine) and B45 (GT3E&F Control Room) Structure demolition are 100% completed.
- B5 Warehouse 2 demolition is 100% completed.
Upcoming works for the next 4 weeks are expected to include:
- B7 (GEC building) demolition of switchgear and building will commence after B6 demolition
- B26 (E1-E4 Powerhouse) mechanical demolition of engines and auxiliaries continues (E1, E2, E3 & E4)
- B26 EPS mechanical demolition of E1, E2, E3 &E4 auxiliary equipment continues.
When demolition is occurring our neighbours and passersby may notice the following disturbances:
- Demolition noise from the construction equipment, which will be mitigated by limiting work to daytime production hours only (ie. 7:00am to 4:00pm)
- Localised airbourne dust, which will be mitigated by mist mechanisms and stockpile covers
- Increased truck traffic along Cemetery Road to remove building materials and engine components, which will be mitigated by flag men while trucks enter and exit the demolition site.
SAFETY & SIGNAGE
Project safety signage and project barriers are in place surrounding all demolition and work/project areas. All project areas are limited to the BELCO Serpentine Road campus only.
We ask our neighbours, passersby and campus visitors/guests to observe all safety signage and to not enter or attempt to enter any marked project areas in order to protect the safety of everyone.
