Tideway's construction work at Abbey Mills Pumping Station is now substantially complete.
Our work at Abbey Mills is part of the London super sewer project, a 25km tunnel under the River Thames, designed to protect the river from sewage pollution.
At our Abbey Mills site we have:
- Successfully connected our Tideway tunnel into the Lee Tunnel, which links Abbey Mills to Beckton Sewage Treatment Works and creates one long continuous tunnel from west to east London.
- Placed a 1,200 tonne concrete lid on top of the shaft, which at 24m wide was the heaviest lift completed on the whole project.
- Installed mechanical and electrical equipment to make everything run smoothly.
Construction work is now complete at this site however you may continue to see some Tideway or Thames Water presence as we work to bring the super sewer into operation.
