The Thames Tideway Tunnel is a major new sewer to be designed and constructed to help manage the problem of untreated sewage overflowing from the capital's sewers via combined sewer overflows (CSOs) and is intended (once constructed) to enable the UK to meet the requirements of the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive when operated in conjunction with the Lee Tunnel.The Thames Tideway Tunnel Project (the Project) comprises:— wastewater sewers and tunnels;— design, construction, commissioning, operation, financing and maintenance of the main tunnel and connection tunnels;— CSO drop shafts, short connection tunnels and associated development to intercept flows and divert them into the main tunnel or connection tunnels;— works to modify Thames Water's existing pumping stations and sewers;— associated development to facilitate construction of the tunnels and shafts; and— such other works and/or services as are necessary to deliver Thames Tideway Tunnel Project.The 6,5-7,2 m-diameter, 25 km-long main tunnel between Thames Water's existing operational sites at Acton Storm Tanks and Abbey Mills Pumping Station will control untreated sewage from 34 CSOs identified as ‘unsatisfactory’ by the Environment Agency. Sewage flows captured in the Thames Tideway Tunnel are intended to be transferred down the Thames Tideway Tunnel route for pumping out and treatment at Beckton Sewage Treatment Works via the Lee Tunnel. The long connection tunnels are known as the Frogmore connection tunnel (2,6 m-diameter and 1,1 km-long) and the Greenwich connection tunnel (5 m-diameter and 4,6 km-long) (measurements are approximate). Contractors will be required to design, build and/or procure Equipment including tunnel boring machines (TBMs) and diaphragm walling equipment to construct the relevant sections of the Thames Tideway Tunnel. Applicants should note that the Thames Tideway Tunnel will pass under existing infrastructure, including bridges, transport and utility tunnels, in-river structures, river walls and buildings and protective measures will need to be taken into consideration when designing and implementing the works.Key objectives for the delivery of the Thames Tideway Tunnel include ensuring highest quality construction, current best practice with regards to the safety regime and full consideration for whole life maintenance costs in selection of materials and constructions techniques.
