	Joseph Bazalgette - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bazalgette was appointed assistant surveyor to the Commission in 1849, taking over as Engineer in 1852, after his predecessor died of "harassing fatigues and anxieties".
		Bazalgette's solution (similar to a proposal made by painter John Martin 25 years earlier) was to construct 83 miles of brick-built sewers to intercept sewage outflows, and 1100 miles of street sewers, to prevent raw sewage flowing through London's streets and into the river.
		Bazalgette was knighted in 1875, and elected President of the Institution of Civil Engineers in 1888.

		Sir Joseph William Bazalgette (28 March 1819 – 15 March 1891) was one of the great Victorian civil engineers.
		In 1858 Parliament passed an enabling act and Bazalgette's proposals to revolutionise London's sewerage system began to be implemented.

		BAZALGETTE, SIR JOSEPH WILLIAM (1819-1891), English engineer, was born at Enfield on the 28th of March 1819.
		Under the latter Bazalgette accepted an appointment which he continued to hold under the three successive commissions which in the course of a year or two followed the second one, and when finally in 1855 these bodies were replaced by the Metropolitan Board of Works, he was at once appointed its chief engineer.
		Bazalgette was also responsible for various other engineering works in the metropolitan area, designing, for example, new bridges at Putney and Battersea, and the steam ferry between north and south Woolwich.

	BBC - History - Joseph Bazalgette (1819 - 1891)
		In Bazalgette's case the engineer was Sir John MacNeill, and with him he gained considerable experience in land drainage and reclamation.
		He saw to it that the flow of foul water from the old sewers and underground rivers was intercepted, and diverted to flow along new, large, low-level sewers, built behind embankments on the riverfront and taken to new treatment works.
		All this was followed by a programme of major civic works, including the building of Northumberland Avenue between the Thames and Trafalgar Square, and the take-over and removal of tolls from the existing Thames bridges in 1880.

	Guardian \| Flushed with success
		But Bazalgette was not exploring London's sewers as part of some penance imposed upon him by the vengeful god of television.
		Rather, his great-great-grandfather was Sir Joseph Bazalgette, the man who built the capital's sewers, introduced it to proper sanitation and saved thousands of its residents from dying of cholera.
		Before Sir Joseph, London was drowning in its own dung and, such is our repulsion/fascination with faecal matter, Peter had a slew of juicy phrases with which to describe the city.

	The Great Stink of London: Sir Joseph Bazalgette and the Cleansing of the Victorian Metropolis Book at Shop Ireland
		But a hero emerges from this smelly mess, Sir Joseph Bazalgette, a Victorian engineer of prodigious energy and foresight, who "turned the Thames from the filthiest to the cleanest metropolitan river in the world, which it remains." Halliday is indeed a little in love with his subject, Bazalgette, but it is easy to see why.
		Bazalgette's importance to the layout and history of London is undeniable - the Victoria, Albert and Chelsea Embankments weren't built solely for traffic, there's plenty flowing underneath too.
		Bazalgette had turned the Thames from the filthiest to the cleanest metropolitan river in the world and added some twenty years to Londoners' lives.

		Bazalgette's own politics are harder to pin down; one acquaintance I have spoken to guesses that his instincts are Tory, but he has been careful not to express any political sympathies.
		(Bazalgette is himself something of a connoisseur - his many honorary positions include the chair of the British Academy of Gastronomes.) What McLeod recalls about working for Bazalgette is the clarity of his vision: he always knew what he wanted, and as an employee always knew what to do.
		Bazalgette has referred to participants in Big Brother as "characters", as if they were merely fictional and not real people with feelings to be hurt.

		Bazalgette was one of the greatest of Victorian engineers who, between 1856 and 1889, built more of London than anyone else before or since in his role as Chief Engineer to the Metropolitan Board of Works.
		The City Corporation attacked the proposal on the grounds that it was not necessary while the vestry of St Olave's on the opposite bank, complained that it would be used by hordes of East Enders and thereby "have a prejudicial effect on the value of a large amount of property in the parish".

	Albert Embankment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It stretches approximately one mile northwards from Vauxhall Bridge to Westminster Bridge, and is located in the London Borough of Lambeth.
		Created by Sir Joseph Bazalgette between July 1866 and November 1869, it included land reclaimed from the river and various small timber and boat building yards, and was intended to protect low-lying areas of Lambeth from flooding while also providing a new highway to bypass local congested streets.
		Unlike Bazalgette's Thames Embankment (including Chelsea Embankment and Victoria Embankment), the Albert Embankment does not incorporate major interceptory sewers.

		Bazalgette was appointed chief engineer in 1856 on the recommendation of Isambard Kingdom Brunel, and remained there until he retired in 1889, when the board was replaced by the London County Council.
		To Bazalgette's rescue came the Great Stink in the summer of 1858, when the smell from the Thames was so bad MPs were driven from their offices in the new Houses of Parliament.
		And in 1892, the year after Bazalgette's death, when cholera ravaged Hamburg killing 8,605 people in a city one-seventh the size of London and was widely feared would enter England, few people died in London.

		Joseph Bazalgette lived from 1819 to 1891 and was one of the most distinguished Civil Engineers of the period.
		Bazalgette built 83 miles of ‘interceptory’ sewers that prevented raw sewage from running into the Thames and took it to the east of London where it could be put into the river with minimal effect on the population.
		In addition to his achievement in establishing an effective sewage system for the whole of London, Bazalgette was also responsible for the Thames Embankments, for Battersea, Hammersmith and Putney Bridges, and many other of London’s capital projects.

		A fascinating story and worthy tribute to Joseph Bazalgette, an underappreciated Victorina-era engineer responsible not only for designing and overseeing the construction of London's huge sanitary sewer system, but also the construction of Victoria, Chelsea and Albert Embankments, forever changing the face and character of central London.
		The book does touch on Bazalgette's early endorsement and use of Portland cement as a technical innovation as well as the quality assurance testing techniques that he enforced during his projects.
		Bazalgette was more of a provider of solutions than a public health campaigner, but none the less admirable for that.

		Sewage generated by a population of over two million Londoners was pouring into the river and drastic measures were required to clean the Thames and to improve London's primitive system of sanitation.
