An upfilling specification, sections through the site showing the cut and fill lines and the testing regime were produced by Aspect Consulting Engineers Ltd.

Large scale segmental ductwork at Rugeley Power Station in Staffordshire was being transported from the place from which it was fabricated into its working location. To prevent distortion of these large cylindrical members a method of lifting and bracing was required. Along with the knowledge and experience of the steelwork team on site Aspect Consulting Engineers Ltd produced a design framework to withstand the temporary and static forces being subjected to the ducts in the transitional stage.
