Tideway is the company that will finance and deliver the Thames Tideway Tunnel, a 25km sewer tunnel urgently required to tackle sewage pollution in the tidal River Thames. Approximately the width of three London buses, the main tunnel will be up to 65 metres deep and run from Acton to Stratford, where it will connect with the Lee Tunnel (completed by Thames Water in January 2015) to transfer the excess sewage to Beckton for treatment. In total the project is expected to create 4,000 direct sustainable jobs. One in every 50 full time equivalent jobs will create a new apprenticeship on the project. Tideway is part sponsoring the Source to Sea relay. It is a fantastic opportunity for Tideway to demonstrate its values and help reconnect Londoners with their river, while learning new skills and having fun. Find out more.
