Thames Tideway Tunnel Site – Abbey Mills Pumping Station
Index Thames Tideway Tunnel Sites Abbey Mills Pumping Station
Abbey Mills Pumping Station is one of Joseph Bazalgette‘s cathedrals of sewage and as it lies at the junction of the Northern Outfall Sewer and the Lee Tunnel to the massive sewage works at Beckton, it has been chosen as a junction, where the Thames Tideway Tunnel meets the existing system.
The official site says this about the works.
Abbey Mills Pumping Station is an existing Thames Water pumping station site.
In our application for development consent this site receives the tunnel from Chambers Wharf and connects the main tunnel to the Lee Tunnel, which will transfer sewage flows to Beckton Sewage Treatment Works.
This Google Earth image shows the area.

The Abbey Mills Pumping Station is clearly marked and the white line running across the image beside it is the Greenway, underneath which is the Northern Outfall Sewer.
I can’t expect that the construction work at this site will cause much disruption, especially as since 2010, they have been building the Lee Tunnel and there doesn’t appear to have been too many protests.
