boiler houses in a condition

allowing entry into Care and

Maintenance. Work commenced

early 2011 and completed in June

than 250,000 man hours without a

lost time accident and has

delivered 2,500te of pipework and

process system components de-

planted and processed for

disposal. 95% of which has been

recycled.

Bradwell boiler house deplanting

• Delivering up to 80% reduction in

approval times for key documents which

was identified early on as a key blocker

and through raised profile and allocation

of the approval process to one person.

This has been carried over to other sites

where improvements are highly visible.

• Benefits of collaborative working allowing

mutual understanding of scopes and

each others needs.

• Identification of key drivers allowing all to

focus on these areas.

• Encouraging information sharing between

framework members.
