Across the river from the London Eye, we are working within a cofferdam - a dry working area built into the river. We have constructed a 48m-deep shaft which will take sewage from this location to the depth of the new super sewer tunnel beneath the River Thames. From the base of this shaft, we have excavated a 17m-long tunnel to connect into the new super sewer.
Pile removal
We are now beginning to remove of the cofferdam. Mobilisation works will start on Wednesday 12 October 2022 with the first pile removed the week commencing 31 October.
We will be using the vibration method to remove the piles and this will be carried out intermittently during core site hours, 8am to 6pm Monday – Friday and 8am to 1pm on Saturdays. There may be an increase in noise levels as the piles are removed but we will do all we can to limit any disturbance.
We expect this work to be completed by September 2023.
