Abstract

Line 1 of the Crossrail project is planned to cross the River Thames via twin tunnels at Woolwich in east London. This paper reports on the fascinating investigation into the riverbed of Woolwich Reach, involving integration of a wide range of data from historical, geophysical and borehole sources. It illustrates how combining detailed desk studies and focused borehole investigations with over-water seismic, sonar and magnetic gradiometer surveys can assist civil engineers in the design of major structures within historic urban and tidal river environments.
