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
Works at our Chelsea Embankment site are progressing well.
On our north site, we will soon begin work install a temporary steel flume in the existing Bazalgette Low Level 1 (LL1) sewer to allow maintain the sewer flows as we construct our overflow weir chamber.
The works will take approximately 12 weeks to complete, beginning in early-October. All our works will be taking place during core hours Monday to Saturday 07:00 to 19:00.
October 2019
On the South site, within the cofferdam (a dry working area built into the river) the team have been installing secant piles to outline the shaft, interception chamber and river wall structures. All of these piles have been installed, a total of over 350. The team will now crop the piles down to ensure they are all level, before they cast concrete around the perimeter of each of the structures. This cast concrete is known as a capping beam, and will secure the piles in place as the team begin to excavate downwards.
