TBM arrives at Beckton as Thames project progresses

摘要

Thames Water's ongoing work to ensure a healthy environment along the River Thames has passed another milestone with the arrival of a tunnel boring machine (TBM) at Beckton sewage works. Lowered 30 metres below ground by a specialist heavy-duty crane, the TBM will now begin its work of burrowing more than 850 metres over the next six months.
