Thames Tideway talk to the Worshipful Company of Constructors

Thames Tideway talk to the Worshipful Company of Constructors

London relies on a 150-year-old sewer system built for a population less than half its current size. As a result, millions of tonnes of raw sewage spills, untreated, into the River Thames each year.

The solution is to construct the Thames Tideway Tunnel, a 25km ‘Super Sewer’ tunnel that will clean up and reconnect Londoners with the River Thames.

The talk will outline the need for the project, the technical solution, an update on progress, (with a focus on the key Blackfriars Bridge Foreshore site in the City of London) and highlight some of the wider legacies that Tideway brings to London.
