This is all excellent work and means a lot to those who not only love London they cherish it too. A huge project at it's finishing touches. Thankyou to all concerned. Your work will live on for centuries to a very grateful population, me included :)
What's your secret, how will you live for centuries? That aside, and congratulations btw, I completely agree that everyone should be grateful and pleased with this immense project.
Now it doesn’t matter the Thames🎉flood barrier is in the wrong place with the tideway sewer tunnel now complete, no need for sewage being dumped in the Thames River so a clean Thames now, a big success ✌️❤️🇬🇧

Beneath my feet? But I live in Rostock, Germany! Are you sure you have not overshot? 😂 Thanks for showing the new spaces created and how the overflow works!
Hi, a CSO is a Combined Sewer Overflow where storm sewage is discharged into the River Thames to prevent it backing up into streets and homes. The Super Sewer will intercept the most polluting of these CSOs.
@@TidewayLondonThe Fleet sewer is one of these and an explorer has actually filmed much of it and uploaded it to TH-cam, it shows how the former lost river which was turned into a CSO works and the overflow associated with it plus the points which it interacts with the interceptor sewers.
Can you guys pleaseeee stop blocking the embankment area now. The tunnels literally built now as shown by the video and theres almost no one working on that site anymore yet youve got the whole embankment blocked off still. Causes big detours for the 1,000s walking along it each day and most just walk in the cycle lane(UKs busiest) and i dont blame them. Its just seems selfish and not considering anyone else. At least move the barriers by like ONE meter or something so people can pass. Ive not seen workers there for like 2 months now and at night nothings barely happening on the surface either, the full worksite isnt needed. Be considerate and have phasing down plans in future projects to hand back public space earlier in phases.
Just get on with it. The overground landscaping works are moving at a snails pace. I pass several of them every day and there is next to no one working on them.
Please don't hand it over to Thames Water, they'll just sell it to a bank, payout their shareholders a few billion, give their board a few million and leave working class London with the bill. Protect it from them.
So rather than fix the problem once and for all, you charge 10x market rate for this mitigation project. Thats like breaking our leg, then selling us a cast and wheelchair. And billing us for the privilege.
how much POWER does the FLow of the river turbine Generate? if this project didn't put turbines in the tunnels to harness flowing water you wasted a HUGE amount of money/opptunity to solve some of Londons energy problems OH but then again you most likely did and are just calling it a sewer ?
I can't imagine a turbine ever being useful in a sewer! Sure, there is storm overflow and perhaps a fair bit of a flow rate at times, but I bet that is built in to their calculations to be useful clearing out blockages of various sorts, like at the sluice gates. ANYTHING that slows up the flow is detrimental. Imagine a turbine covered in loo paper, sanitary towels, restaurant fat and sh*t - not ideal
That sort of innovative thinking is not welcome in government contracts, where spending as much as humanly possible, while delivering as little as they can get away with, is the norm,

Fantastic achievement. Well done to the whole team.
Thanks for the update.

I thought the contents went straight into the Houses of Parliament and was spouted by MP’s.
Great update - what’s the current Opening Date?

@hendrikharryg 28 I would guess that he assumes that everyone of any significance lives in London.
Excellent.
Heavy rain or a North Sea tidal storm surge is now an irrelevant issue, solved by a completed tideway tunnel,congratulations ✌️❤️🇬🇧
Cool....
Did I miss it, but what is a CSO?

Why would you wont to put your feet in the Thames.

Yaay - waswondering hen we'd get a new video update

Will they clean up all that 💩 they’ve put into our tap water

@@Neilhuny Was it worth the effort answering such a stupid question?

Its a sewer, you want the fluid out, not anything restricting its flow
