Tideway uses barge to position crane

摘要

Tideway has started the major work to clean up London's River Thames with two boats pushing a barge supporting a crane into position near Blackfriars Bridge. The move, being undertaken by VolkerStevin for Tideway, means work can start on a new pier in preparation for construction of the super sewer. Andy Alder, Central Project Delivery manager for Tideway, said: "Getting the barge into place was no mean feat. The 20m wide barge had to be carefully threaded under seven bridges and through the traffic on one of the busiest working rivers in the world. Alongside the man-made challenges, the crane also needed perfect tidal water levels and good weather before the movement could go ahead."
