Padeswood Spur Pipeline Proposed Development
The Padeswood Spur Pipeline Proposed Development would transport CO₂ from the new carbon capture plant at the Heidelberg Materials UK cement works in Padeswood, to the HyNet Carbon Dioxide Pipeline at Northop Hall. It would include:
- Padeswood Above Ground Installation (AGI): comprising a fenced compound, approximately 50m x 28m, housing equipment designed to receive carbon dioxide from the Heidelberg Materials UK cement works carbon capture plant. This will ensure the safe and efficient operation of the spur pipeline. The AGI would be located within industrial land being developed as part of the Heidelberg Materials UK carbon capture plant. It will include:
- Pipework and associated infrastructure, and a connection point to the Heidelberg Materials CCS plant.
- An Electrical and Instrumentation kiosk for distributing power and controlling and monitoring the system. This will be 5 metres high at most.
- A secure chain line boundary fence up to 3 metres high with gates and perimeter lighting columns up to 5 metres high.
- Surface water drainage infrastructure connecting to Heidelberg Materials UK CCS plant’s drainage system.
- A spur pipeline transporting carbon dioxide: connecting the Padeswood AGI to the Northop Hall AGI (which has already been granted development consent as part of the HyNet Carbon Dioxide Pipeline). The spur pipeline will comprise a 16” diameter, steel pipeline approximately 11km in length. It will be buried through agricultural land along its whole length, at a standard depth of 1.2 metres, except for sections that will go under major roads and watercourses. These will use specialist trenchless crossing techniques at a greater depth, which you can find out more about here.
- Additional equipment at Northop Hall AGI (which has already been granted development consent through the HyNet Carbon Dioxide Pipeline DCO).
- Other infrastructure including telecommunication connections, a secondary FOC connection, leak detection equipment and pipeline marker posts.
- Temporary works to facilitate the construction of the Padeswood Spur Pipeline Proposed Development, including construction compounds and temporary access tracks.
Our feedback map shows a draft red line area within which the construction will take place. The blue lines show the potential access routes that could be used during the construction of the Padeswood Spur Pipeline Proposed Development. These will be firmed up as part of the planning submission.
The Padeswood Spur Pipeline will be buried under agricultural land for the length of the route. Some portions of the spur pipeline will be buried under roads, woodland and water courses. If you have comments about specific sections of the route, you can add these to the map so that the team can accurately consider your comment and pinpoint the specific location.
