As we deliver the UK's longest road tunnel, we're privileged to have some of the country's leading tunnelling specialists helping us to shape the future of the industry, including Jag Chima, who has just been elected to the British Tunnelling Society Committee. Thank you to everyone who gives their time to support the industry beyond their everyday roles during Volunteers' Week. We're proud to see our team, including Keith Bowers, Omar M. and others, volunteering and sharing their knowledge at events such as the recent British Tunnelling Society AGM.#volunteersweek #lowerthamescrossing British Tunnelling Society Young Members
NEW COMMIITTEE MEMBERS + VOLUNTEER WEEK Following the British Tunnelling Society Annual General Meeting on 21st May, we are pleased to announce that Alex Vaughan, Christoph Eberle, Jag Chima & Mark Kirkbride have been elected to the BTS Committee as Trustees of the society; whilst, Alastair Smith and Richard Sutherden have been elected as the Chair and Vice-Chair respectively. We wish them all the best for their terms ahead. The AGM also saw Bethan Haig, John Kinnear & Ken Kwok retire from the Committee after serving their 3 years term. We would therefore like to thank our retiring members for all their contributions whilst on the committee. We would also like to thank John Corcoran for his leadership as the Chair between 2024 and 2026, and look forward to him continuing on the Committee as the Past-Cahir. Finally, during the 𝗩𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 (1st to 7th June), as a volunteer-driven organisation, the British Tunnelling Society and British Tunnelling Society Young Members would like to once again express their heartfelt appreciation to both committee members and wider contributors who generously give their invaluable time and expertise to support and advance the wider tunnelling industry through BTS, as well as ITA-AITES, initiatives.

Our new community video newsletter is now live, aiming to keep our local communities updated about what’s happening on the #LowerThamesCrossing. Charley from our communities team shares an update on what’s happening across the Lower Thames Crossing project. Hear about: • Early work getting underway • How we’re working to create Britain’s greenest road, including six times more green space than road and Britain’s largest ever purchase of green hydrogen for a construction project • How we’re creating thousands of jobs, helping local communities to benefit from these opportunities • Opportunities for local businesses and roadshows we’ve held in Kent and Essex • Our Community Fund offering grants of up to £10,000 for projects that support wellbeing and strengthen community connections Watch the update video below. - Hydrogen power is here! Earlier this month, we joined industry leaders at the Tilbury Thames Hydrogen Hub event – an exciting initiative showcasing hydrogen live in action across the port and wider Thames Estuary. The #LowerThamesCrossing recently secured 2,500 tonnes of low-carbon hydrogen from GeoPura, which will be used to replace 12 million litres of diesel and save over 30,000 tonnes of carbon. We’re excited to be part of the momentum building behind hydrogen, and watching as it accelerates the UK’s journey to #NetZero.

Throwback to our recent hydrogen showcase at the Port of Tilbury where industry leaders came together to see hydrogen in action across ports, maritime, construction and transport. The event highlighted what hydrogen is already delivering commercially today, from production and refuelling through to large-scale deployment in real-world applications. Highlights included: * The first-ever demonstration of a mobile, HPU2 hydrogen-powered rapid EV charger delivering shore-to-ship power to a working vessel dockside * Visits aboard the Energy Observer * Hydrogen production and delivery infrastructure operating at the port * Live hydrogen refuelling demonstrations for Toyota fuel cell vehicles * GeoPura HPUs operating at the nearby Lower Thames Crossing project hosted by BMJV * Hydrogen-powered buses transporting delegates between live operational sites If you’re exploring hydrogen power, maritime electrification, temporary power, EV charging or clean infrastructure solutions, get in touch with the GeoPura team to find out more - www.geopura.com/contactA huge thank you again to Port of Tilbury for hosting the event and helping showcase how the Thames Estuary is becoming a leading hub for hydrogen innovation and deployment. Thank you also to all partners and exhibitors including Port of Tilbury London and Forth Ports Limited, Toyota (GB) plc, Lower Thames Crossing, BMJV (Bouygues Travaux Publics UK & Murphy), Energy Observer, Briggs Equipment UK Ltd, Hyster, JCB Hydrogen, Fuel Cell Systems Ltd., Intelligent Energy, HyKit, ULEMCo Ltd, CaetanoBus, Flannery Plant Hire, TCP Group, Toyota Material Handling and T&M Bowser Solutions who helped bring the event to life.

Consortium Parliamentary Reception highlights national importance of the Lower Thames Crossing. In March, parliamentarians and representatives from infrastructure, construction, and logistics got together with suppliers from across #Kent, #Essex and the UK to highlight the national economic importance of the #LowerThamesCrossing as work on the project gets underway. Simon Lightwood MP, Minister for Roads and Buses, reaffirmed the Government’s commitment to the scheme and the vital role infrastructure investment plays in supporting economic growth and improving connectivity across the UK. Reflecting on the collaboration behind the project, he noted: “Projects like the Lower Thames Crossing succeed because of partnership - between government, industry, and the skilled people who design and deliver them.” Watch our new video: https://lnkd.in/e2Nrny_K
