Didcot power station: Three more workers to be recovered by Great Barr firm Coleman & Company
A Black Country company which is handling the clean-up operation following the collapse of the Didcot power station has said it expects to recover three missing workers this weekend.
Coleman & Company, which is based in Great Barr, has been undergoing a painstaking process to locate demolition workers Ken Cresswell, aged 57, John Shaw, 61, both from Rotherham, South Yorkshire, and Chris Huxtable, 33, from Swansea, who have all been missing since the collapse last month.
It comes after the funeral of Mick Collings, 53, who died in the accident, was held on Tuesday.
The Health and Safety Executive said the site's owners, energy giant RWE, had presented it and Thames Valley Police with a plan to start work on the collapsed debris.
And Coleman & Company said on its Facebook page: "After a period of intensive planning, work will shortly begin on the physical recovery operation of our missing friends and colleagues, Chris, John and Ken.
"We have been working relentlessly with RWE and independent experts to ensure the recovery operation can begin safely and are relieved that we are now in a position where work can get underway this weekend.
"Our over-riding priority remains to support the families of those who have died or are still tragically missing, and the start of the recovery operation is an important milestone in a process to re-unite our missing colleagues with their families."
A family member of one of three men missed recently caused the delay in the rescue 'diabolical',
A petition was launched at the start of this mont by the partner of Chris Huxtable in a bid to 'get them out now'.
The collapse happened on February 23.
