Thames Tideway Tunnel - Kirtling Street
London, United Kingdom
Thames Tideway Tunnel is one of the UK’s biggest infrastructure projects, involving over 20 construction sites. We supported the construction of multiple shafts on the Thames Tideway Tunnel project – Kirtling Street being the most challenging due to its size.
On a project of this complexity, flexible products and innovative engineering were invaluable in shortening construction time, reducing costs, and championing reusability.
With a diameter of 30m, this shaft is the largest across the entire Tideway project.
The drum formwork was integrated with heavy-duty trusses comprising RCS rail frames and heavy-duty rollers to facilitate movement.
The entire solution was fabricated off-site at our Rugby depot, contributing to time-savings, reductions in labour and minimising on-site safety risks.
We designed a formwork solution which split the concreting process into two halves to accommodate the 15m height of the tunnel portals.
