From early April the team is undertaking river wall piling works. Piling rigs are being used to enable us to build the final section of new river wall, connecting it to the two previously constructed sections. The rigs will auger (drill) into the ground and create a vertical hole which will then be filled with reinforcing steel and concrete, to create a concrete pile. This process will be repeated while we construct all the remaining new river wall piles. To increase efficiency two piling rigs are being used. We are returning the future river wall closer to its original position, from before we began work at Chambers Wharf. We expect to finish this activity by July 2024. 

We are also constructing the air treatment unit and electrical and control kiosk on the eastern side of the site. The control kiosk is the building which houses the equipment that allows the sewer system to operate smoothly.

Our weekly e-newsletter has the latest site update - here.
