MANAGING WATER

AS A RESOURCE

CONSTRUCTION AND

OPERATIONAL WASTE

MANAGEMENT


Areas covered by the Water Team

Flood Risk;

Surface Water Drainage;

Water Resources and waste water;

Groundwater;

Water Quality; and

Navigation

F LO O D R I S K A N D T H E WAT E R E N V I R O N M E N T


Flood Threat

High risk of flooding (which does not take in to account flood defences)

Existing site defended up to the 1:1000 year event

Tidal storm surge in the River Thames

F LO O D R I S K M A N AG E M E N T

Proposal

Raise defences by 1 metre to allow for

climate change over the 60 year project life


Agreement with the EA to discharge directly to

source (River Thames) with no flow limit

Storage will be required for the tide locked

condition

Design aim to maintain status quo where water

currently drains in to the wetland areas

Opportunity

Ecology - maintains or improves wetland habitats

S U R FAC E WAT E R D R A I N AG E


Current Situation

Existing jetty on west of peninsula is in poor

condition

PLA require microwave/radar links & sight lines to be

maintained and not obscured by development

massing

Opportunity

Refurbish jetty and the marina

Use river for construction/waste transport to and from site reducing road traffic and carbon emissions

Extend Thames Clipper service to the site

N AV I G AT I O N A N D S H I P P I N G


Areas covered by the waste team:

Waste policy and practice

Goods and waste logistics

Design input

Wider environmental impacts

Waste facilities capacity and capability

Construction / Operational waste management

WA S T E M A N AG E M E N T


Storage, collection, processing and treatment, and disposal

Early design input is crucial to identify appropriate and adequate space

Facilitate hygienic, efficient, safe and discreet waste collection

Collection and storage does not compromise visitor experience

WA S T E S T R AT E G Y


CO N S T R U C T I O N A N D O P E R AT I O N A L WA S T E M A N AG E M E N T

Opportunities in Construction

Use River Thames

design out waste

Modular construction can dismantle and re-use

Future-proofing and adopt circular economy principles

Work with Ground Engineering team to maximise re-use of soil and building materials

Opportunities in Operation

Waste reduction initiatives can be adopted

Develop waste strategy in tandem with goods strategy

Waste facility on site servicing both the inner and outer cores

Minimise waste vehicle movement and use the River Thames

Questions for consideration

How can we enable visitors to enjoy the Resort through good design?

What measures can be put in place to minimise the impact of the Resort on the local community?

How can the Resort be designed with sustainability in mind including drainage, waste, and flood prevention infrastructure, water resources, and utilities?
