One of Europe’s major energy operators Energias De Portugal (EDP), has appointed RVA to provide project management assistance and technical advice during their vast demolition and site clearance project in Portugal.

As the UK’s leading expert of large scale decommissioning, decontamination, dismantling and demolition projects, RVA is supporting EDP throughout the decommissioning and demolition of its 7 hectare power plant in Barreiro, Portugal.

RVA has already helped EDP prepare a detailed project specification and tender documentation, and will play a key role in the contractor selection programme. Following the appointment of a contractor, RVA is available to continue to work with EDP, providing specialist project management support and technical advise as required throughout the programme of works.

The project will include the demolition of several large structures comprising a 1,000m oil and steam pipeline, engine room, boiler, steam turbines, pumping station and two on-site reservoir tanks, each measuring 7,500m³.
