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.
As we are moving into the final phases of our work at this site the team has recently removed the large site offices and replaced this with smaller welfare cabins. The final phases of work at the site also include landscaping and surfacing works along with final installations, snagging, maintenance and commissioning (to test the system).
