The banner reads ‘TPMD Improving Thanet’s ageing sewers’. Southern Water is investing more than £30 million to upgrade Thanet’s ageing sewer network to help protect wildlife and the environment. Constructed by Victorian miners, the original sewer pipes were laid inside chalk tunnels known as adits. Ground surveys and other works will continue this month [October 2018], with the main construction taking place towards the end of this year [2018]. The work is the second of three phases after Southern Water successfully carried out the first phase of works in 2014/15. The new scheme is planned to be completed in early 2020 and will be carried out by TPMD, a team of three specialists – Terra Solutions, Pfeiffer and Matt Durbin Associates https://www.carringtonwest.com/southern-water-invests-30-million-plus-to-upgrade-thanets-ageing-sewers/
