BOC Immingham Dissolved Acetylene Project Environmental Statement: Vol. 2 Main Text
Development Site
Location
2.4 It is proposed to build and install the acetylene plant within the area outlined in red (‘the
development area’) as shown on the Location Plan (Figure 1.2). The approximate centre of the
development area is OS Grid Reference TA 221 134 (NGR 522105 413465).
Development Footprint
2.5 The field that houses the proposed development is 9.4 ha in area. As indicated in Figure 1.2, the
overall development area takes up less than half the field and is approximately 4.2 ha in area.
This area includes space for the new acetylene plant as well as for temporary construction
facilities. Within this the new roads and the main site process area will take up around 1.5 ha. In
addition to the main site area there will be Deluge Tanks, Embankments, an Amenities Building
and a Deluge Water Lagoon, thus the overall footprint of the development in terms of land-take
will be slightly greater, estimated at
