Our weekly e-newsletter has the latest site update - here (19 December 2024). Our next newsletter is planned for 10 January 2025.  

From Summer 2024, the team has been breaking out the concrete working platform so that we can remove the cofferdam. The cofferdam is the temporary area of land that was built out into the river so that we could build the structures below ground. The team is removing the fill material beneath the concrete and taking this away by barge. This reduces lorry movements around the site. We are also installing the new panels that will make up the river wall. 

More information on these activities and the Independent Compensation Panel process is available here (updated July 2024).

If you have any questions about our works at Chambers Wharf or wish to subscribe to our e-newsletter please get in touch with our helpdesk on 08000 30 80 80 or [email protected].
