Browne was appointed to deliver the permanent diversion of the London Street Sewer for the Paddington Square development, located next to Paddington Station and the Bakerloo Line. Working in a constrained site with complex utilities and ground conditions, Browne maintained progress in a live construction environment.
A phased approach began with a temporary diversion, including a 9m-deep shaft, 1200mm pipe jack,and timber heading. This enabled construction of the permanent sewer in a 10m-deep reinforced corridor, with a 2m x 2m heading for final installation. The project was delivered during the COVID-19 pandemic, requiring adapted practices to maintain safety and productivity.
