A small dam at the connection
between Chelsea Creek and the
River Thames will allow water to
enter the creek generating power
for the building. This also allows
us to filter the water as it enters
the creek giving the water
coming in a cleaner and more
appealing appearance which
in-turn will then be recycled as
water used in the indoor water
features inside the Expo. Energy
