Report of the Director of the Built Environment.

The Committee considered a report of the Director of the Built Environment regarding the outcome of the Tower Bridge re-decking and approach viaduct waterproofing project and seeking approval for this project to be closed.

The Director of the Built Environment reported on the success of this project which had been completed to scope/specification one week ahead of programme and within the project budget set at Gateway 5. He added that tackling illegal cycling here could be considered as a future project here.

In terms of lessons learned, the Director of the Built Environment noted that it was important to note that the main contracted works did not always represent the full extent of a project. He added that this report had been delayed due to things that were outside of the contracted works programme but nevertheless part of the project.

A Member congratulated Officers on the excellent work carried out on this project. Importantly, they had ensured that the Tower Bridge exhibition was kept fully open to the public throughout the works.

RESOLVED – That, Members approve the content of this Outcome Report, and that the Project will be closed.
