Installation of Precast Units at the Black Point Power Station

For approximately 3 months, marine works involving the installation of precast units of the cooling water intake will be carried out within the area bounded by straight lines joining the following co-ordinates (WGS 84 Datum) from (A) to (D) and the adjacent shoreline:

(A) 22 deg. 24.673’N / 113 deg. 54.357’E

(B) 22 deg. 24.759’N / 113 deg. 54.259’E

(C) 22 deg. 24.830’N / 113 deg. 54.332’E

(D) 22 deg. 24.747’N / 113 deg. 54.424’E

The works will be carried out by one crane barge and one derrick lighter. One cargo vessel and one tugboat will assist in the works. The number of vessels engaged in the works will change from time to time to suit operational requirements.

A working area of approximately 150 metres around the crane barge will be established. Yellow marker buoys and yellow flashing lights will be laid to mark the positions of the anchors extending from the crane barge.

A working area of approximately 80 metres around the derrick lighter will be established. Yellow marker buoys and yellow flashing lights will be laid to mark the positions of the anchors extending from the derrick lighter.

The hours of work will be round-the-clock. Diving operations will be carried out from time to time during the hours of work.

Vessels engaged in the operations will display signals as prescribed in international and local regulations.

Vessels navigating in the vicinity should proceed with caution and keep clear of the works area at slow speed, bearing in mind there are divers working in the works area.
