We will work safely or not at all

01

Client requirements

The Thames Tideway Tunnel in Central London is the largest infrastructure project ever undertaken by the UK water industry, and when completed It will be 25 kilometres long!

For assured safety throughout its construction, our client requires our gas leakage engineers to survey all identified ‘at risk’ underground assets prior to works commencing, as well as during and afterwards.

As part of the HSE guidelines, it is the responsibility of any contractor involved in commissioning, planning, managing and carrying out work on or near underground services to ensure that integrity of these assets is not compromised in any way during the project.

40Seven Solution

To give our contractors Cadent complete assurance, at every stage of the project, we scoped the following:

Baseline underground utility survey

To identify all underground assets, and assess their integrity, prior to works commencing.

Ongoing monitoring

During the construction, we’re carrying out regular checks to mitigate the possibility of main failure, which could be caused by tunnel boring machines breaking ground, or deep sheet piling on, or in, the vicinity of the shafts and cofferdams.

Final construct survey

Once the works are complete in 2025, we’ll carry out a final survey to assess the settlement of the surrounding geography, and check that there has been no further impact on the assets.
