Soil milling machines, crawler excavators, bulldozers, and trucks are working on the construction of the Unit 6 pit, which measures 150 meters in width, 190 meters in length, and 23 meters in depth. More than half of the approximately 500,000 cubic meters of soil has already been removed. In parallel with the excavation, anchoring of the so-called secant pile walls and construction of the permanent fence are also underway.

Based on the experience gained at Unit 5, workflows have been optimized, increasing efficiency, work quality, and, not least, occupational safety. A geodetic and geotechnical monitoring system is also in operation at the construction site, enabling the early detection of any impacts that may arise during execution.

The excavation is progressing according to schedule, and the work is regularly inspected on-site by the Hungarian Atomic Energy Authority.
