RETOOLING COCKENZIE POWER STATION C O C K E N Z I E

Year 3 semester 1 - December 2015

BRIEF : To ‘retool’ the disused coal power station site at Cockenize,

My proposal - To use the infrastructure already in place to transport ash from ash lagoons, (formed from the waste product of the power station) back to the power station structure to be processed and produce dolos (tidal breakwater pieces) which could then be distributed to vulnerable coastal areas across the UK, using the infrastructure that was in place to import the coal.
