Does the UK have capacity to build like this again?

Are we allowed to consider "foreign investment, management and manpower" after Brexit ?
Probably couldn't do without foreign investment most major projects have this in and we couldn't do without which probably wasn't considers by the Brexiters..................after all there would be at least £350 M available to splurge around post Brexit. So once we are Masters of our own Destiny we can spend and build whatever we want as there would be no one to stop us as we make our own laws and print as much money as we wish.Toaster said:

Got me thinking, could the UK, today, do this again?
Biggest problem is getting rid of the feckers! Can't float them, not allowed to destroy them in-situ, what do you do? The Brent field is being decom'd now and the gravity bases will have to be left for the moment in the 'too difficult' box!jshell said:

Only small pieces left. It showed that turning the concrete GBS' into artificial reefs was going to be fairly easy , but of course, the Watermelons stepped in and now it's a problem waiting for a cost-effective solution.

Presumably it will remain in the 'ignore it and it might go away' category until the Noggies invent some amazing means of making Ekofisk etc. disappear, which will be equally challenging.
Considering how TOTAL dealt with the MCP-01, a similar design all be it half the size I very much doubt that the Ninian Centrals concrete jacket will be going anywhere, here's the case study on the decommissioning of the MPC-01http://www.hazardexonthenet.net/article/77019/Deco...
