Siemens Energy has launched a stone reuse project in a bid to reduce construction traffic and emissions in Lincolnshire.
The recycling initiative will move around 8,768 tonnes of stone, formerly used to build a temporary access road and site accommodation for the Triton Knoll onshore substation works, to the neighbouring National Grid Viking Link interconnector project.
The number of stones is enough to fill almost three Olympic-sized swimming pools and will be used to build an access road on Viking Link for the high voltage cabling works.
