Chelsea Embankment Foreshore

The team is finishing removing the sheet piles that made up the cofferdam. The cofferdam is the temporary area of land built out into the river to give the necessary space for construction of the super sewer. 

The team is also working on finishing the architectural and landscape features of the site. The team has recently finished cladding the mechanical and electrical kiosks in brickwork, which includes an artwork by Florian Roithmayr. 

Over the coming months, the Tideway teams will be trialling our lighting systems at this site. Phase 1 of testing took place from 6 am Thursday 13 June - midnight Monday 17 June. For more information about these tests, the purpose of these lights and which other sites you can expect to see also trialling these lights, please click here.
