Our Falconbrook site is part of a Thames Water pumping station, where more than 700,000 cubic metres of untreated sewage flows into the River Thames on average each year. Our work to intercept these overflows into the new super sewer will reduce this amount by around 94 per cent.

Work update

At our Falconbrook Pumping Station site, we have excavated a 41m-deep shaft which will safely transport intercepted sewage deep below ground before it moves into the new super sewer tunnel.

From the base of this shaft, we have excavated a 250m-long tunnel which will connects the shaft to the main super sewer tunnel.

The team are currently constructing the structures needed for the sewer to operate.

To find out more about what's happening across the project you can watch our Tunnel Vision series on YouTube.
