Currently on Amazon, a new documentary chronicling the construction of London’s Thames Tideway is available.
With the title of Beneath Your Feet – The Thames Tideway Tunnel Story, In The Dark Productions (ITD) produced a video that offers a behind-the-scenes insight into the super sewer, which became fully operational in February this year.
With the aim of telling the story of the construction of Tideway, the massive infrastructure scheme built beneath the capital to clean up the River Thames, this fiile was filmed over the past eight years with access to the project’s archive and executive team and includes project and engineering milestones, such as the moment the TBM passed under Tower Bridge.
ITD director Endaf Jones said: “It was a privilege to see the construction of Tideway up close.This is not just a film about concrete and tunneling, it’s about the people behind the project. It’s about the challenges they were forced to overcome, the problems they solved, and their reflections on delivering a mega-project in one of the world’s most vibrant cities.”
Considering the permission of production company for editorial independence in producing the film, the film makers shine a light on the moments that shaped the project, from critical engineering challenges to the human stories of those who built it.
Featuring candid interviews with frontline workers, engineers, and leaders, including Tideway CEO Andy Mitchell, Beneath Your Feetgives an insight into what it means to take on a project of unprecedented scale, under the streets of one of the world’s busiest cities.
