Our Greenwich Pumping Station site is being used to drive the Greenwich connection tunnel to Chambers Wharf using our TBM 'Annie'. It will help tackle the problem of sewage overflow into the River Thames.

Works update

In the main area of the site the team is refurbishing areas of the historic East Beam Engine House and has recently finished the refurbishing the roof.

We are also returning the area adjacent to Norman Road to how it was prior to construction. This includes changing the site hoarding to fencing, reinstating the former brick perimeter wall and the Thames Water Pumping Station vehicle access. Access for both vehicle traffic and pedestrians is being maintained at all times, although there will be periodic temporary traffic lights and pedestrian footway diversions in Norman Road.

We have recently returned the footway and cycleway C10 to its former alignment. In January and February there will be some short, temporary closures of the footway across the Creek to enable the team to install further lighting, cables and fencing. The first temporary closure is scheduled for the 15 and 16 of January 2025.
