Overview
In this joint event with CIWEM, we welcome CEO Thames Tideway Andy Mitchell CBE, to speak about the construction of the 25km ‘super sewer’ under the River Thames to help tackle tens of millions of tonnes of sewage per year polluting the river.
This necessary expansion of London’s sewer network is due for completion in 2024, and is happening across 24 construction sites in London. These span from Acton in West London to Beckton in the East, and many are located on the river edge in the centre of the city.
Once complete, the super sewer will have more than six times the amount of tunnel under the River Thames as the tube network.
