Thames Tideway Tunnel...
Our Concrete Cutting team has been
working on the iconic Thames Tideway
Tunnel infrastructure project for some
years. With parts of that nearing
completion, the main contractors
working there are demobilising and
removing structures that were built to
accommodate the initial construction
works.

As part of that demobilisation, John F
Hunt has successfully completed the
removal of a large acoustic shed for
BAM Nuttall Ltd, Morgan Sindall Plc and
Balfour Beatty (BMB) JV.

All services and craneage were
removed, leaving a shell of steel frame Our Scottish and Northern Division

combination of Komatsu PC490’s and contracts with McAleer & Rushe at
PC210’s with MP30 shears and rotating Leeds College of Technology and

Competition Winners Visit!...
Back in April, we welcomed our school
competition winners, Sophie, Chima,
and their parents, to visit the Concrete
Cutting team and see the machines
they named ‘George Power Bot’ and
‘The Scorpix’ brought to life!

The day began with a tour of the
facilities and a look at some of the
smaller concrete cutting tools, with
plenty of time for questions and answers
from Patricia McEnroe, Jake Pooley and
Aaron Willmott-Rice.

They also got an epic demonstration of
the mighty ‘George Power Bot’ and ‘The
Scorpix’ by Aaron, who showed Sophie
and Chima the controls and different
attachments whilst answering questions
on the construction industry as a career
option for our inspired future concrete
cutters! Read more
