The Kirtling Street site is on the southern bank of the River Thames and comprises four areas of land as well as an area extending into the Thames. It will be used to drive the main tunnel to Carnwath Road Riverside in the west and towards Chambers Wharf in the east.
Kirtling Street
Our Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM), Millicent, is progressing well on her journey westbound towards our Carnwath Road site in Fulham. We have completed over 300m of the tunnel and have completed over 160 segment rings to line the tunnel. We are also preparing to launch our second TBM, Ursula, eastbound towards our Chambers Wharf site in Bermondsey later this year. As with Millicent, the first part of the tunnelling is slow and steady to enable us to get her in the correct position so we can then start to build in the tunnel behind her. Tunnelling of both machines involves both moving the machine forward, and creating the tunnel itself which means that the movement per day depends on the stage of the process we’re completing. On average, we’ll still 11 rings per TBM per day, but some days we’ll do more, and some days we’ll do less.
As we are now in the tunnelling phase of construction, we are required to work 24 hours a day 7 days a week
The date for our next CLWG for this site will be on Thursday 13th June 2019, at our Kirtling Street site from 18:00 - 20:00.
