Thamesport helps London clean up its act

[ August 20, 2020   //   Chris ]

The first train, operated by DB Cargo, has arrived at Hutchison Ports London Thamesport with primary tunnel precast rings for the Thames Tideway Tunnel project. The ‘Super Sewer’ will upgrade London’s current network to cope with demands well into the 22nd century and reconnect the city with the River Thames. Some 6,000 precast rings will initially be transported by rail from the manufacturing plant in Lincolnshire and will eventually leave the port by barge and road, destined for the main East and Greenwich sections of the project.
