The first section of glass reinforced plastic lining under Stratford High Street is a significant modernization effort, addressing the structural weaknesses of a 1860s sewer under pressure from modern traffic.
Thames Water project manager Richard Smith emphasized that the installation of durable glass-plastic pipes is a crucial step to ensure essential sewage services continue while adapting to environmental and population challenges.
Engineers from McAllister Group, who specialize in maintaining the Northern Outfall sewer, are employing high-tech methods to install the new piping with precision, ensuring no disruption in waste flow.
The sewer upgrade, first envisioned by Joseph Bazalgette in 1865, has become necessary due to tra...fic and population increase, underscoring the long-term infrastructural challenges faced in urban planning.
