1 Tunnel Vision Jobs for your future

2 Thames Tideway Tunnel aims to: Thames Tideway Tunnel What it means for local people Contractors will employ at least one apprentice for every 50 site employees at all times throughout the works. Thames Tideway Tunnel will seek to ensure that at least 20 per cent of employees live in the drive site borough. At least 25 per cent of employees will live in the boroughs where project worksites are located. For river transport, at least 30 per cent of employees will live in Greater London, Kent or Essex. Local unemployed people and exoffenders will have equal opportunities within the contractor workforce. Local businesses will be given the chance to benefit from spending on goods and services. The project will create approximitaly 4,340 sustainable, direct jobs.

5 Skills breakdown Skills gaps Occupations Number per Year Miners / UG Workers TBM operations Tunnel transport Tunnel backup and plant We are working to address the potential skills gaps that could arise in a number of occupations including boat masters, marine bargehands, construction design and management, skilled construction, miners, underground workers, steelfixers and specialist security workers. D-Wall* and spray concrete Shaft miner Pipe jacking Sub-total Skilled construction Job/Skill/ Supply Chain Gap Construction design and management How Addressed Long term training (LTT) Magnitude of gap Low Med High Justification High gap identified across London by CSN report and significant potential impact on project if not addressed but given high wages potential for transfer from other sectors. Marine civils Specialist plant conveyors Steelfixers Short term training (STT) Fairly significant gap but ability to train in short period if gap identified and potential for national and international labour to fill gap if required. Specialist plant cranes Specialist grouter Miners, underground workers Partly international labour but also STT & LTT Although specialised skills there is an ability to rely on international labour to fill gap at same time as opportunity through TUCA to train locally. Demolition Ground contamination expert Skilled construction Mainly STT but also LTT Specialised skills that would have high project impact if not delivered but ability to train locally and/or recruit nationally or internationally if required. Site power supply Other skilled labour Sub-total , ,402 1, Specialist security Marine logistics boatmasters STT LTT Relatively short term training needs and potential to divert from other security firms if required. Very significant gap in demand generated by project compared to local supply and very limited opportunities for substitution.

These figures are subject to revision. Marine logistics bargehands STT, LTT and international market Ability to recruit from national / international labour market but large gap in supply against demand.

The Tunnelling and Underground Construction Academy (TUCA) The academy offers a wide-ranging curriculum to its students which is of a huge benefit for projects like Crossrail and the Thames Tideway Tunnel. This includes the Tunnelling Construction Passport which helps to meet the skills requirements needed when working underground. TUCA is working to fill the gap of those qualified for mining and underground work to drive the evolution of the industry in the UK. Creating a cleaner, healthier River Thames River transport related skills Of the 24 construction sites needed to build the Thames Tideway Tunnel, 11 are located on the river. Over the lifetime of the project 4.8 million tonnes of material could practically be moved by river. It is assumed that at least 4.2 million tonnes, or 90 per cent of this, will be transported by river. A river transport workforce is needed to deliver this target. The project also represents a wider opportunity to promote the use of the river as a significant freight route. There is a shortage of people working in riverrelated transport skills, especially with regard to marine boatmasters who require detailed local knowledge and a Boatmaster Licence (BML) which takes at least two years to complete. We are working with the Port of London Authority (PLA) and the Thames Training Alliance (TTA) to help develop opportunities that will meet the skills gap identified and reinvigorate the river economy.
