See the shared description: In order to construct a sewer tunnel by the pipe-jacking technique, the contractor had to use steel sheet piles to make a large rectangular working shaft for the jacks and other equipment. A vibrational method was used, rather than the traditional drop-hammer, to minimise disturbance to nearby properties. The house shown here appears no longer to be present, although the garden wall remains to confirm the location on revisiting the street.
