North London Sewer Connection Thames Water – SB Civil Engineering’s sewer division completed yet another sewer connection in London for our client in the London Borough of Haringey – Haringey Council. The sewer connection was made onto the Thames Water Utilities asset in this instance, which only Thames Water approved contractors (SB Civils) are allowed to conduct.
