How many construction sites will be needed to construct the Thames Tunnel?
To construct the Thames Tunnel we are currently looking for main shaft sites which will be access points for the machinery required to build the tunnel and remove the spoil. Reception sites are also needed, where we will insert the tunnel boring machines. In addition, we need to connect the most polluting combined sewer overflows (CSOs) to the Thames Tunnel. These are all at existing, fixed locations along the River Thames and so the search for these construction sites will be more constrained.
