  • 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.

  • 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.

Thomas Jess - back row second from right Thomas Jess was in HMS Lapwing and was blown 10 yards across the deck when a torpedo struck the destroyer on a bitterly cold morning in the final few months of the war. He was one of 61 survivors. 58 sailors died on 20/03/1945, on board the HMS Lapwing, which was just a day's sail from the Russian port of Murmansk when it was torpedoed without warning by the German submarine U-968. "The explosion just lifted me off my feet, skinning all my knuckles," said Jess, one of several sailors from Northern Ireland on board the Lapwing. "But I was lucky as I always wore my lifebelt, which was my best friend at sea. Other fellows were more careless. There was one poor man who tried to make his way below for his lifebelt but he never got back up on deck." Page !2 HMS Lapwing After the torpedo ripped through the ship's hull, he stayed at his post until the abandon ship order was given. Then he jumped into the freezing sea and was lucky enough to be pulled onto a raft that had been thrown overboard by the crew. "There were about 16 of us on the raft when we set off and then one by one they fell off in the cold. I fell unconscious while we drifted for at least two hours...There were just six of us pulled onboard HMS Savage when we were rescued .

  • 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.

It states that the decision maker will generally need to give impacts on the water environment more weight where a project would have adverse effects on the achievement of the environmental objectives established under the Water Framework Directive, and that relevant River Basin Management Plans have been given due regard. Water Framework Directive (2000) The WFD was transposed to UK law in 20031. It is designed to prevent further deterioration of water quality and aquatic ecosystems, promote the sustainable use of water resources, reduce pollution from priority sources, and reduce groundwater pollution. The WFD has four objectives relevant to the project: • WFD objective 1: Prevent deterioration of the status of all bodies of surface water. • WFD objective 2: Protect, enhance and restore all bodies of surface water, with the aim of achieving good surface water status by 2015 (or 2027 where measures would take longer to implement). • WFD objective 3: Protect and enhance all artificial and heavily modified bodies of water, with the aim of achieving good ecological potential and good surface water chemical status by 2015 (or 2027 where measures would take longer to implement).
