Working with RSK Geosciences over 1 week in Sheffield
CAN carried out a structural survey of Sheffield’s iconic Megatron culvert, supporting the client with detailed inspection data to assess the condition of the underground structure. The project also included specialist confined space rescue support throughout the works.
CAN Structures was contracted to access and undertake a survey of the iconic Megatron culvert in Sheffield, a Victorian storm drain constructed in the mid-to-late 1800s.
Utilising industrial rope access techniques and an inflatable dinghy, CAN operatives traversed the 70-metre-long culvert and retrieved core samples to be examined and tested. Additionally, covermeter tests and endoscope surveys were conducted throughout the culvert.
CAN Structures operatives also provided a 6-man high-risk confined space rescue team to supervise and support third-party inspectors.
All core holes were repaired once the surveys and sampling were complete.
