Sustainable Construction Logistics on the Thames
Transforming London’s construction supply chain through river-based transportation, removing over 200 trucks from our streets every day.
Rethinking Construction Logistics
London’s construction industry generates millions of tonnes of excavation material every year. Traditionally, this means thousands of lorries clogging our streets, contributing to congestion, air pollution, and wear on our road infrastructure. At Albert Wharf, we’re pioneering a better way.
We specialise in the collection, transportation, and recycling of construction spoil—primarily the clay-rich earth excavated from building sites across the capital. By leveraging London’s historic waterway, the River Thames, we’re bringing 19th-century logistics into the 21st century with modern environmental practices.
Our Impact
- 200+ Trucks Removed Daily
- Every single day, our river-based operations eliminate more than 200 truck journeys from London’s congested roads.
- 52,000+ Annual Truck Journeys Eliminated
- That’s over fifty-two thousand fewer heavy goods vehicles navigating through residential areas, past schools, and through busy high streets each year.
- Low-Emission River Transport
- Barges on the Thames produce a fraction of the carbon emissions compared to equivalent road transport, helping London meet its net-zero targets.
