Balfour Beatty has featured in Wiltshire Times discussing how the company will be removing 13 pylons from the North Wessex Downs landscape, to restore an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in Devizes, as part of National Grid’s Visual Impact Provision (VIP).
In the article, Matthew Taylor, Balfour Beatty's Power and Transmission Distribution Senior Project Manager and National Grid’s Project Manager, Amardheep Malhi, explore the progress made to date on the project and the complex construction works experts are undertaking.
Discussing the works, Matthew said: “We will be doing the trenching, the laying of the ducts, and then the cable pulling which will run into the winter months... We’re making sure we maintain a positive relationship with the existing landowners, we span a lot of different tenants and farmers with their own businesses."
