Tetra Tech to oversee groundwater monitoring for UK’s Thames Tideway Tunnel
(UI) — Tetra Tech has been selected by Tideway to provide groundwater monitoring services for the next phase of the Thames Tideway Tunnel, one of the United Kingdom’s largest underground infrastructure projects.
The £2.5 million ($3.2 million) contract covers long-term groundwater monitoring and reporting to support the tunnel’s operations, which aim to reduce sewer overflows into the River Thames and improve water quality.
Tetra Tech’s groundwater engineering team will use the company’s Delta software platform to collect and analyze physical, chemical, and biological data to track groundwater trends and support Tideway’s decision-making.
The 25-kilometer (15.5-mile) tunnel, running beneath the River Thames, is a key component of London’s strategy to modernize its combined sewer system and protect public health.
“The Thames Tideway Tunnel is a significant national infrastructure project that addresses the challenges of combined sewage spills into the tidal reaches of the River Thames,” said Dan Batrack, Tetra Tech chairman and CEO. “Tetra Tech is pleased to use our Leading with Science® approach and nearly 60 years of cutting-edge technical expertise to design and deliver critical services to protect public health and the health of London's greatest natural asset."
The Thames Tideway Tunnel represents one of the most ambitious environmental infrastructure efforts in Europe, designed to capture and transfer millions of tons of combined sewage overflow from London’s Victorian-era system to treatment plants before discharge.
