The Woolwich Ferry Jetties are a critical link across the Thames, carrying vehicles and passengers between Woolwich and North Woolwich. This article outlines the comprehensive repair project carried out by Concrete Repairs Limited (CRL) to address spalling concrete on the north and south approach viaducts. It covers condition surveys, visual inspections, hammer testing, half-cell potential measurements, chloride analysis, and the use of advanced repair techniques, including hydrodemolition and fast-setting SHOTCRETE.
The project highlights innovative access solutions, tidal working constraints, and durability-focused interventions such as sacrificial anodes. Early specialist involvement and thorough surveys ensured efficient repairs and long-term resilience of these essential ferry structures.
