Company Overview
Thames Tideway Tunnel
The Thames Tideway Tunnel (‘the project’) is a nationally significant and major infrastructure project urgently needed to protect the tidal River Thames from increasing pollution. London’s sewerage system is no longer fit for purpose and spills tens of millions of tonnes of untreated sewage mixed with rainwater (combined sewage) into the tidal reaches of the River Thames every year. The project is the largest in the history of the privatised water industry and is the UK’s largest ever waste water infrastructure project.

The Thames Tideway Tunnel will control combined sewer overflow (CSO) discharges by intercepting and diverting combined sewage flows into a new tunnel system for storage and transfer for treatment. The tunnel system would consist of connection tunnels and a main tunnel that would run from Acton Storm Tanks in west London to Abbey Mills Pumping Station in the east, where it would connect to the Lee Tunnel, which would transfer the flows to Beckton Sewage Treatment works for treatment.
