RePower London: Underground Infrastructure for Growth

Webinar

Thursday 17 April 2025
10:00 - 11:00

Free

Join us for our webinar on the topic of London’s vast and evolving underground infrastructure system. 
Our panel of experts on London’s underground infrastructure network will guide us through the design, construction and maintenance of the capital’s complex network of tunnels, pipes and wires. 
 
As housing and development pressures increase in London’s growing urban landscape, the necessity to make use of existing subterranean infrastructure to support growth and regeneration in the capital has never been greater. 
 
Alongside over 200km of railway tunnels, London has a vast sewer system, in addition to thousands of metres of power tunnels at depths of up to 60m below ground. The recent London Power Tunnels project by National Grid has rewired the capital’s electricity network to boost resilience and future-proof-supplies and will play a crucial role in our journey to net zero. However, will further innovation be required in the way we use the space below in the years to come? 
 
Join us as we hear the answers to these questions and more in our technical webinar all about what lies beneath London’s streets and buildings.
