Major Landmark For National Grid |
|
The London Power Tunnels project for National Grid has reached another major landmark with the completion of the tunnel access shaft at the Pratt Street Site in Camden.
To mark this milestone, staff from across the project team hosted an open day with children from years 5 and 6 at Our Lady's Roman Catholic Primary School, which is adjacent to the site.
The children were given an insight into the role of National Grid, an overview of the project from the team including Costain and Skanska site engineers and were able to go onsite and see the 47m deep access shaft from a specially constructed viewing point. Additionally, the pupils enjoyed digging their own shafts during games set up in their school playground. Three large boxes were made and individually filled with sand, clay and gravel. Children in teams then had to try and sink a small shaft with trowels, then create an excavation, rather than just dig a hole, with some wooden blocks.
