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
August 2019
At our Chelsea Embankment Foreshore site, the team have completed piling for the overflow weir chamber on the north site that will intercept the overflows from the existing Low Level 1 Sewer currently operating in this location. The team are now working on installing a concrete capping beam on top of the piles to secure them and create a steady working area to excavate. The overflow weir chamber will eventually connect to the shaft on the south site through an underground connection culvert.
Within the south site cofferdam, a new area of land built into the river to allow the team to work, piling for the interception chamber and combined sewer overflow (CSO) shaft is ongoing. The piles, bored to around 21m below ground, will outline the permanent structures that will connect the over flow points at this site to the main tunnel. The interception chamber will connect the existing Ranelagh CSO to the shaft which will divert the overflows to the main tunnel.
