Lecture 3: Insight into a pioneering project at the cutting edge of engineering: the upgrade to London's failing sewerage system. With a growing population and heavier rainfall, the River Thames is regularly polluted in breach of European Directive requirements. Two new storage and transfer tunnels will run up to 85m deep under the river and will intercept and divert sewer overflows to a treatment facility in east London. The challenges faced by constructing a tunnel project of this size under the river and through London's historic urban environment will set a new UK record for this type of tunnelling..
