Barhale wins Greenwich mains installation work

Barhale has been selected by Thames Water to install more than 4km of new trunk main in southeast London as part of plans to build additional capacity in the area.The £8.6m project will install a DN800 DI pipeline from between Crooms Hill, Greenwich and Ordnance Crescent, next to the Blackwall Tunnel approach, and the O2 arena on the Greenwich Peninsular.The programme of works will be a key element of phase two of the construction of new water infrastructure between Deptford water treatment works and the Greenwich Peninsular.Barhale was also responsible for phase one – the Deptford to Greenwich main – which runs from Broadway Fields near the Stephen Lawrence Centre along Greenwich High Road to Crooms Hill.The new main will connect to an existing DN800 water main at Crooms Hill before crossing Greenwich Park. It will be the largest construction project in Greenwich Park since the 2012 London Olympics.Completion is expected in March 2024.
