Our Acton Storm Tanks site is where the super sewer begins on the western section of the Tideway project. Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) Rachel finished tunnelling the western 7km section of the super sewer after breaking into the shaft at Tideway’s site in Acton in September 2020. TBM Rachel first arrived in London in November 2017 and began tunnelling in May 2019.
We are into the final phases of our work at this site. The team has removed the large site offices and replaced these with smaller welfare cabins. This stage of work also includes landscaping, planting and surfacing works along with final installations, snagging, maintenance and commissioning (to test the system).
In Spring 2024 will be installing three freestanding sculptures by artist Sarah Staton at the site adjacent to the Canham Road.
