Thames Water are using an installation method called 'slip-lining', which avoids having to excavate along the length of the works. Instead, they excavate two pits, around 3m deep and 150 to 200m apart, then push the new pipe through the old pipe. The new plastic pipes are welded on site before they are pushed through the old pipe. This is why the fenced off-site area around 100m in length.
