Tideway, the company building London’s new super sewer, remains on track to deliver the project by 2025, following the most substantial review of the programme since 2018, according to its Interim Report and Financial Statements for the six months ended 30 September 2021 published this morning.
The 1000th ring has been installed on the Greenwich Connection Tunnel – part of the new super sewer for London - by Tideway’s Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) Annie.
Tideway has installed the first shutter which will be used to cast the secondary lining of the new super sewer for London - the shutter has now been lowered to the bottom of the shaft at Tideway’s Kirtling Street site.
The Tideway Tunnel - London’s new super sewer - has become the longest tunnel beneath the River Thames after miners working deep underground passed the 2km mark.
Tideway, the company responsible for construction of the Thames Tideway Tunnel, has revised its estimate of overall costs based on work left to do –with five years left to go, the revised estimate is now £3.8 billion compared to £3.52 billion.
