The King George’s Park site encompasses a small part of the northern end of the park, adjacent to the entrance from Buckhold Road and the junction of Buckhold Road and Neville Gill Close. The site will be used to connect the existing Frogmore Storm Relief–Buckhold Road combined sewer overflow, to the main tunnel via the Frogmore connection tunnel.
King George’s Park
Following a pause as part of our response to the COVID-19 outbreak, we have resumed some works at our King George's Park site. We have introduced several additional precautions so that our team can do this work safely to continue building the super sewer.
The end of 2019, our King George's Park site met the biggest milestone yet for the whole Tideway Project.
Charlotte, the Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) creating the Frogmore Connection Tunnel, broke through into the shaft, thus completing half of her journey. You can read about the break through here.
Charlotte has been driven back over to Dormay Street where she will complete the rest of the Frogmore Connection Tunnel towards Carnwath Road Riverside. You can read about this here.
The site team are working on the secondary lining on the completed section of the Frogmore Connection Tunnel and preparing the site for the Kiosk installation.
