Now all the super sewer tunnels have been excavated we are removing the buildings and equipment that are no longer needed. 

We have also been breaking out concrete and undertaking piling work so that we can reinstate the permanent river wall.  

Underground, the team are adding a secondary lining of concrete onto the inside of the tunnel that runs from Bermondsey to Greenwich.

Our weekly e-newsletter has the latest site update - here.

We are working 24 hours per day within the acoustic enclosure. The doors of the enclosure are closed for the night from 6pm to 7am, although there may be occasions when they are re-opened in the evening (up to 10pm) for the movement of equipment. Certain activities such as barge movements within the river foreshore and those that are dependent on the tide, may take place between 5am and 10pm. 

Outside of the acoustic enclosure our standard working hours are:

• 8am to 6pm  Monday to Friday
• 8am to 1pm Saturday

We have a 1-hour mobilisation period before and after these times. Maintenance work also can take place between:

• 1pm to 5pm Saturday
• 10am to 4pm Sunday
