Putney Bridge Foreshore Site information paper information Site Putney Bridge Foreshore Introduction Currently, untreated sewage regularly overflows into the River Thames from London’s Victorian sewerage system via combined sewer overflows (CSOs). The proposed Thames Tunnel would intercept these overflows through the use of a new storage and transfer tunnel, which would link west London and Abbey Mills Pumping Station. The sewage flow would then be transferred to Beckton Sewage Treatment Works via the Lee Tunnel. The reduction in untreated sewage entering the River Thames would bring long-term benefits for the environment and users of the River Thames. In order to deliver the project we need a number of sites along the route and this document identifies our current preferred site at Putney Bridge Foreshore. Key facts Local authority: Wandsworth CSO name: Putney Bridge CSO spill volume in an average year: 68,000m³ (equivalent to approximately 27 Olympic swimming pools) Site type: CSO site Duration of main construction works: Approximately three and a half years. Thames Tunnel 1 Putney Bridge Foreshore Section 1: Introduction and site information We are proposing to use the foreshore of the River This site information paper sets out our proposals at Thames, to the west of Putney Bridge, for this Putney Bridge Foreshore. We have also produced project construction work and to accommodate permanent information papers, which cover overarching topics structures required to operate the main tunnel.

At the end of this site information paper is a list of other documents, The location of the site is shown in Figure 1A. The site is which may be of interest and a glossary of terms. located in the foreshore of the River Thames, between Putney Pier and Putney Bridge. It is also north of the junction of Lower Richmond Road and Embankment. The site is within the Putney Embankment Conservation Area.

The site includes Build the existing slipway, which is located to the west of Putney Bridge. A temporary, replacement slipway would be constructed for the duration of our Putney Bridge CSO construction works. This would be located approximately 300m west of Putney Bridge, close to the business premises of Chas Newens Marine.

  • Thames Tideway Tunnel
    www.WaterProjectsOnline.com Wastewater Treatment & Sewerage Thames Tideway Tunnel - Central Contract technical, logistical and operational challenges have required an innovative approach to building the Super Sewer close to some of London’s biggest landmarks by Matt Jones hames Tideway Tunnel is the largest water infrastructure project currently under construction in the UK and will modernise London’s major sewerage system, the backbone of which dates back to Victorian times. Although Tthe sewers built in the mid-19th century are still in excellent structural condition, their hydraulic capacity was designed by Sir Joseph Bazalgette for a population and associated development of 4 million people. Continued development and population growth has resulted in the capacities of the sewer system being exceeded, so that when it rains there are combined sewer overflows (CSO) to the tidal Thames performing as planned by Bazalgette. To reduce river pollution, risk to users of the river and meet bespoke dissolved oxygen standards to protect marine wildlife, discharges from these combined sewer overflows (CSOs) must be reduced. The Environment Agency has determined that building the Tideway Tunnel in combination with the already completed Lee Tunnel and improvements at five sewage treatment works would suitably control discharges, enabling compliance with the European Union’s Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive. Visualisation showing cross section through the Thames Tideway Tunnel Central Victoria CSO site – Courtesy of Tideway Project structure and programme There is also a fourth overarching systems integrator contract The Thames Tideway Tunnel closely follows the route of the river, providing the project’s monitoring and control system. Jacobs intercepting targeted CSOs that currently discharge 18Mm3 of Engineering is the overall programme manager for Tideway.

  • Statement of Common Ground Between London Borough of Southwark and the City of London Corporation
    Statement of Common Ground between London Borough of Southwark and the City of London Corporation December 2019 1 Introduction This Statement of Common Ground (SCG) addresses the strategic planning matters specific to Southwark, its neighbouring boroughs, and other strategic partner organisations. This SCG has been prepared by Southwark Council in agreement with the City of London Corporation. The purpose of the SCG is to document the strategic cross-boundary matters being addressed and progress in cooperating to address them. This SCG ensures that the requirements set out in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) have been met. The NPPF states, “Local planning authorities and county councils (in two-tier areas) are under a duty to cooperate with each other, and with other prescribed bodies, on strategic matters that cross administrative boundaries.” Southwark Council engages with other boroughs and the City of London through regular meetings either between officers or elected members with formalised governance arrangements such as the London Councils Leaders’ Committee, Association of London Borough Planning Officers, the Cross River Partnership, the South East London Duty to Cooperate Group and the Southeast London Joint Waste Planning Group. We also maintain correspondence between planning departments on a variety of issues and projects and organise additional meetings on strategic planning matters when needed. Figure 1: Locations of Southwark and the City of London Corporation within Greater London. 2 Strategic Geography London Borough of Southwark Southwark is a densely populated and diverse inner London borough set over almost 30km of land to the south of the River Thames. Home to over 314,000 people, the borough is a patchwork of communities set over diverse 23 wards.

  • Impact of a Single Day Major Event on a City Arup & the Boat Race Company October 2017
    The Boat Race Impact of a Single Day Major Event on a City Arup & The Boat Race Company October 2017 Executive Summary The Boat Race is an event steeped in history and tradition, with a high degree of public recognition in the UK and worldwide. Major events, of which The Boat Race is one, have undergone significant change over the last 30 years. The speed of development in equipment technology, broadcasting and spectator expectations have combined to produce events that reach far beyond their sporting origins. Through study of the economic, logistical and experiential influences on The Boat Race this document reviews the current ‘state-of-play’ for the event and makes recommendations of areas that should be considered for development in order for the event to maximise its commercial, sporting and social sustainability. Key to the future of The Boat Race is to maintain and build from its ethos of scholar athletes, elite performance, tradition and accessibility for all and to focus on how to engage with the UK and worldwide audience in order to generate income and extend the reach of the event beyond Race Day itself. The report also provides high level case studies of sporting events which have successfully managed the transition from traditional sports into highly regarded, well supported events that focus on fan experience and long term event sustainability. This document proposes that public and commercial engagement can be enhanced on various levels for The Boat Race. The report highlights the key themes for future development as digitalisation, extension of the event profile, recognition of the commercial asset, diversity of revenue streams and using the event to positively influence the sport of rowing.
