  • Putney Bridge Foreshore

    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.
