Across the river from the London Eye, we are working within a cofferdam - a dry working area built into the river.
We have constructed a 48m-deep shaft which will drop intercepted sewage from this location to the depth of the new super sewer tunnel currently being constructed beneath the River Thames. From the base of this shaft, we have excavated a 17m-long tunnel to connect into the new super sewer.
Above ground, we are excavating an interception chamber, a structure which will intercept the existing sewer that runs below Victoria Embankment and redirect the flows towards the new super sewer via our shaft. We are also constructing a new river wall which will outline the new area of land to be opened to the public once the project is complete.
To find out more about what's happening across the project you can watch our Tunnel Vision series on YouTube.
