Tunnel Spoil
Nearly all of the 550,000 cubic metres (19,000,000 cu ft) of tunnel spoil will be reused in the Penny's Bay reclamation project or processed into aggregates at a local quarry. Spoil was taken away by a fleet of trucks, one leaving the site every 100 seconds during the working day from 8am to 7pm.
