The project is an important infrastructure project replacing the 50 year old existing cable infrastructure. The new cable tunnels and cables will ensure a stable and secure supply of electricity for the London population in the future. The project duration is estimated to be 6 years.

Two 20t travelling cranes as well as the two gantry cranes with a capacity of 35t and 45t will help with excavation of the tunnel shafts and transporting tunnel segments at the site.

The total costs of the project are estimated to be around 1 billion pounds.
