The Thames Tideway Tunnel project will clean up one of London’s greatest natural assets, the iconic River Thames, protect it for generations to come and improve the quality of life for all Londoners.

At 25-kilometers long and at its deepest 70-meters below ground, the Tideway project is the largest water infrastructure project ever undertaken in the U.K.

Jacobs has been the program manager for the Thames Tideway Tunnel project since 2008, building on our record of delivering major urban wastewater treatment projects globally.

It is the kind of highly complex program that Jacobs enjoys tackling; with multi-site delivery and significant challenges demanding innovation and better ways of working to achieve the best outcomes.

Program Director Andy Alder takes us through how the tunnel was constructed and what benefits it will bring to London and its people.
