The Thames Tideway Tunnel

It is a major new sewer, urgently needed to protect the tidal River Thames from pollution.

Tideway is building the tunnel to tackle the problem of overflows from the capital's Victorian sewers for at least the next 100 years, and enable the UK to meet European environmental standards.

Starting in west London, the main tunnel generally follows the route of the River Thames to Limehouse, where it then continues north-east to Abbey Mills Pumping Station near Stratford. There it will be connected to the Lee Tunnel, which will transfer the sewage to Beckton Sewage Treatment Works.

Mane have provided skilled engineeries, traders and labour staff.

Of the 24 construction sites needed to build the Thames Tideway Tunnel, 11 are located on the River Thames.

Battersea Power Station Redevelopment

2012, administrators Ernst & Young entered into an exclusivity agreement with Malaysia's SP Setia and Sime Darby to develop the site. The £400 million sale was completed in September 2012, and the redevelopment intends to implement the Rafael Vinoly design which had gained planning consent from Wandsworth Council in 2011. In January 2013 the first residential apartments went on sale. Construction on Phase 1 was due to commence in 2013, with completion due in 2016/17. Apple will locate its new London headquarters at Battersea Power Station, becoming the largest office tenant with 1,400 staff across six floors in the central boiler house.

Development Company bought the station, and is turning it into a luxury accommodation and leisure development.

There will be 800 apartments, plus offices, shops, a gym and spa and even a theatre.

Mane have been supplying staff for what used to be the Battersea Power Station site, as part of a major flagship regeneration project in London.

We supply steel erectors, concreters, slinger signallers and Construction supervisors.
