Barn Elms Connection Tunnel

Underground engineering

Artist Impression

Among 100 acres of west-London wetland and more than a dozen sports pitches you'll find Tideway's site at Barn Elms. Our work here will 'intercept' the West Putney storm relief combined sewer overflow and divert its flows into the main tunnel. As part of the works we have replaced one of the changing room buildings at Barn Elms Sports Centre with new, modern and improved facilities ready for use.
