Silvertown Tunnel: Powering the Way for Smoother Thames Crossings
Silvertown Tunnel, an impressive project in East London edges closer to completion this year as Cable Connections is highly commended on their part in this important part of Greenwich infrastructure. Set to open in spring 2025, this 1.4-kilometer marvel promises to alleviate congestion at the Blackwall Tunnel, offering a more reliable and faster route across the Thames.
The tunnel will link Silvertown to the Greenwich Peninsula, boasting dedicated bus lanes to enhance cross-river transport services and cycling options, marking a significant step in sustainable infrastructure.
As a critical component of this ambitious project, Cable Connections Ltd, widely praised for their reliability and expertise, has successfully delivered key elements of the behind-the-scenes supply that will ensure the tunnel operates safely and efficiently. Their scope of work included wiring the main SWA for feeder pillars, enabling seamless traffic management, CCTV systems, gantries, and barrier systems.
Additionally, the team overcame challenges such as extended cable pulls over lengthy distances and conducted rigorous testing and commissioning to guarantee smooth operations.
“This has been a complex and demanding project, but the team’s hard work and commitment to the highest standards have kept everything on schedule,” Gary Magdewick (MD) said. “It’s rewarding to see such positive feedback and recognition of our efforts.”
The Silvertown Tunnel, once operational, is expected to transform Thames crossings, reducing congestion and cutting journey times while supporting public and sustainable transport.
The review provided by the Client speaks for itself – “I engaged Cable Connections to handle electrical installations, testing, and commissioning for the Silvertown Tunnel infrastructure assets. Their flexibility in adapting to the demands of a complex infrastructure project was appreciated. The team’s expertise, professionalism, and unwavering support truly set them apart from most subcontractors I’ve worked with in the past. I would not hesitate to work with Cable Connections again and highly recommend their services.”
