Part of the Brighton and Hove Wastewater Treatment Scheme completed in 2013, to improve the quality of water discharged to sea. The scheme required new tunnels and pumping stations between Brighton Marina and a new treatment plant at Peacehaven, and a new discharge pipe at Friars Bay. A 17.5m diameter 46m deep shaft was dug here (the deepest on the project). See http://www.waterprojectsonline.com/case_studies/2010/Southern_Brighton_&_Hove_2010.pdf
