WATCH: HPC's Biggest sea lift
Head lift
Another incredible engineering achievement completed!

Watch here as Balfour Beatty’s 5,000-tonne intake head is lowered onto the seabed of the Bristol Channel - which has the 2nd highest tidal range in the world. The structure is the second of four “intake” heads being connected to 5 miles of tunnels, which will supply Hinkley Point C’s two nuclear reactors with cooling water. The two “outfall” heads have already been lowered into position.
