On the northern bank of the River Thames, the Chelsea Embankment Foreshore site comprises an area of foreshore, a section of footway and carriageway and a small part of Ranelagh Gardens.
Chelsea Embankment Foreshore
Our Chelsea Embankment site team has completed the installation of the 'sewer outfall flume', this means the existing sewage 'outfall' which is where sewage is released into the river can continue to operate normally while we carry out our works in the cofferdam. The 1.8m diameter pipes, each 27m long and weighing 27 tonnes, were lifted in and installed during one single low-tide window.
The team is now pushing ahead with closing the cofferdam structure, that will shape a new piece of land for public use following project completion.
What are our working hours?
Standard working hours are 8am to 6pm Monday-Friday and 8am-1pm Saturday. Also, there is a 1 hour mobilisation period before and after the Standard Working Hours, plus maintenance periods on Saturday 1-5pm and Sundays 10am-4pm.
There will be a short period of 24-hour working during the construction of the connection tunnel and secondary lining. However, these 24 hr activities will be predominantly below ground.
