Contractor Accommodation for Thames Tideway Tunnel
The Thames Tideway Tunnel is a 25km super sewer running beneath London from Acton to Abbey Mills. With construction sites spread across the capital, housing your crew near the right site matters. We source and manage accommodation near every major Tideway work location.
About Thames Tideway Tunnel
The Thames Tideway Tunnel (also known as London's super sewer) is a major infrastructure project designed to intercept and redirect sewage overflows that currently discharge into the River Thames. The 25km tunnel runs from Acton Storm Tanks in west London to Abbey Mills Pumping Station in east London, with a connection to the Beckton Sewage Treatment Works.
The project involves multiple construction sites spread across London, each with its own tunnelling and connection works. This creates a unique accommodation challenge: you need housing near whichever site your team is working on, and that can change as the project progresses.
Overnightly specialises in exactly this kind of multi-site project. We source properties near each Tideway work site and manage everything under one contract, so you are never juggling multiple landlords or accommodation providers.

Working on London's super sewer
The Thames Tideway Tunnel, London's 'super sewer', is a 25km interception tunnel running deep beneath the Thames, built to stop millions of tonnes of sewage overflowing into the river each year. Delivered from more than 20 sites along the river, it stands as one of the defining London infrastructure projects of its era, and its sites, shafts and connections continue to generate engineering, commissioning and follow-on works across the water sector.
Tideway also set the template for how London mega-projects house their people: central worksites, dispersed crews, night working under strict consent conditions, and a premium on accommodation that lets shift workers actually sleep.
How we house tunnelling and water crews
For London water and tunnelling work we place crews in houses and apartments within sensible travel of the worksite, prioritising quiet properties for night gangs and proper kitchens for crews on long stints. Whole-house lets keep gangs together at a fraction of central-London hotel spend.
The same model serves the wider water sector's capital programmes across the country: one account, one consolidated invoice, stays that flex with the programme.
