CMYK_London_Gateway_port[1].jpg - Construction on the £1.5bn London Gateway port scheme starts in earnest today 16th March, with dredgers readying the Thames for the world’s largest container ships. Laing O’Rourke and Dredging International are pressing ahead with the project, which when completed will be able to receive 3.5 million containers a year. Carillion started doing early works on the scheme, which was launched in 2008, to reconstruct 26 ha of coastal mudflats which are being lost through construction of the port. The Essex site will be raised by three metres and the wharf, extending up to 600 metres into the estuary, will be built on reclaimed land. A separate logistics park, originally planned to be 9.5 million sq ft in size, is set to be built under a separate construction contract.
