The facility - more commonly known as BEPPS-DIF – is the first of our construction sites to come back online after we paused all but essential projects construction work in March. Today around 29 people will join the handful of those who started last week on the site. The first group have mainly involved in getting the site ready for a restart of work. Those who are starting today, and the others who will follow them, will see a very different place to the one they left in March. We spoke to 2 members of the BEPPS-DIF team who have been working on the site to find out what their views are. Chris Whitaker is an electrician for Balfour Beatty and has been making sure the emergency lighting is set up and that there’s power in the building. He said:
Matt Ritson works for SPIRE, which is handling logistics and one of his roles will be to check people coming onto site. Matt said:
The facility is the first of our project construction sites to restart after the pause, and as such is acting as a pilot for other projects. We will be regularly reviewing all measures put in place, including those on BEPPS-DIF and other projects and other areas of site and our offsite offices. Any measures brought in will depend on what is appropriate, practical and possible in differing spaces, but the overriding driver will be to keep the workforce safe.
