Barhale were contracted by Thames Water and Crossrail to re-lay a Victorian Cast Iron trunk water mains in Sussex Gardens, Paddington, West London. This work was necessary for settlement mitigation, as a result of the Crossrail TBM passing under the area in late 2012.

• The slip lining of 50m of 15’’Cast Iron (CI) pipe Water main with PE plastic pipe.
• The slip lining of 50m of 36’’ CI pipe Water main with PE plastic pipe.
