Alongside our joint venture partners, we’ve recently marked a major milestone as part of our works on the west section of the Thames Tideway Tunnel, by completing works on the Frogmore Connection Tunnel. Well done to the entire team who have continued works despite COVID-19 disruptions.

This milestone marks the end of the secondary lining in the Frogmore Tunnel where the team will now go back and clean both tunnels and complete the contact grouting. In total the team have cast 1.1km of secondary lining, totalling to 1420m3 of concrete!
