The Local Plan, along with the saved UDP policies (Unitary Development Plan), sets out a vision and key policies for the future development within the Borough from 2013 through to the end of the plan period (2026). It provides special policies outlining local and strategic development within the Borough, including housing, employment, leisure, and retail provision. The adopted Local Plan included the provision for at least 8,200 net new dwellings to 2026 (in line with the then London Plan). 1.1.2 To support Haringey’s adopted Local Plan, Habitats Regulations Assessment was

We’re passionate about reducing the impact our work can have on customers across our region. So we’re working with gas, power and telecommunications providers, as well as Transport for London, the London Borough of Croydon and the Greater London Authority, to see how collaborating on planned streetworks can reduce the impact on the lives of all our customers, local communities and the environment, while still improving our services. Background. Over the past year we’ve been working with Atkins and their digital partner Fluxx, challenging ourselves to make improvements in the way we deliver streetworks to reduce their impact on our customers, and become more efficient by collaborating better.

The improvements scheme comprises three projects, the Tupgrade of five major sewage treatment works on the River Thames, the Lee Tunnel and the Thames Tideway Tunnel which will connect to Lee Tunnel. At the heart of the Lee Tunnel is the Tideway Pumping Station, an 87m deep by 38m diameter pumping shaft, situated at Beckton STW. Its sole purpose is to transfer the tunnel’s volume into Beckton for treatment. The pumping station has been engineered to operate under the both the Lee Tunnel flows and the future Thames Tideway Tunnel loads. This paper details the operational equipment within this shaft.

  • Lee Tunnel Flow Transfer System Twin 2.4M Diameter Elevated Steel Gravity Pipelines to Transfer Stormwater Across Beckton STW by Paul Furse Ceng MICE
    www.WaterProjectsOnline.com Wastewater Treatment & Sewerage Lee Tunnel Flow Transfer System twin 2.4m diameter elevated steel gravity pipelines to transfer stormwater across Beckton STW by Paul Furse CEng MICE hames Water’s Lee Tunnel will create a cleaner, healthier River Thames by capturing combined sewer overflows at Abbey Mills Pumping Station, preventing 16 million tonnes of stormwater and sewage from being discharged Tinto the River Lee each year. Up to 385,000m3 of stormwater and sewage will be stored in the 7km long tunnel and transferred to the Beckton STW, where it will be pumped out and treated. In future the Lee Tunnel will form the downstream section of the 25km long Thames Tideway Tunnel. This combined tunnel will capture an annual average of 39 million tonnes of stormwater and sewage from the 35 (No.) most polluting combined sewer overflows along the River Thames. The project required the construction of large elevated pipelines to transfer flow pumped out of the tunnel from the pumping shaft 400m across the operational Beckton STW site to the inlet works for treatment; this article details this section of the project. The Lee Tunnel Flow Transfer System - Courtesy of Mott MacDonald Project background By this time however, the tunnel alignment and pumping shaft In order to treat the stormwater and sewage captured in the Lee location had been fixed, making it necessary to transfer the flows Tunnel, the scheme’s original reference design included a new from the pumping shaft to the existing Beckton inlet works, wastewater treatment stream constructed on the existing Beckton approximately 400m away, leading Thames Water to commission Sewage Treatment Works site adjacent to the tunnel’s 80m deep the Flow Transfer System.

At the time, London had a population of 2 million, but anticipating population growth, his sewers were built for double that number. London’s population is now 8 million and counting. London’s Victorian sewers are still in excellent structural condition, but no longer have the capacity to cope with the city’s population. Tideway is building the tunnel as part of a wider programme of improvement works by Thames Water, called the London Tideway Improvements.
