6,000 precast rings for Thamesport

The first train has arrived at Hutchison Ports London Thamesport with primary tunnel precast rings for the Thames Tideway Tunnel project in London, UK. The Thames Tideway ‘Super Sewer’ will upgrade London's current sewer network to cope with demands well into the 22nd century and reconnect the city with the iconic River Thames.

6,000 precast rings will initially be transported by rail from the manufacturing plant in Lincolnshire and will eventually leave the port by barge and road, destined for the main East and Greenwich sections of the Tideway project. The train is operated on behalf of joint venture CVB by DB Cargo UK. (ben) hutchisonports.com www.uk.dbcargo.com
