Tunnelling prep is in full swing at Clarinda. Crews are working hard to dig a launch site for tunnel boring machines, and putting together all the key supports they’ll need on their journey. Tunnelling starts this year!

🛠️ It’s all happening in Heatherton. This is the site of the future train stabling facility, where two tunnel entrances are under construction. Trains will come to the surface here for maintenance and washing when the new rail line opens in 2035.

What are we building in Mount Waverley? A one stop shop for making the tunnels safe. It’s a site that holds all the emergency essentials for an underground train line - a backup control centre and a ventilation system for the tunnels.

The first of our tunnel boring machines are being assembled on site in Burwood, set to start their journey later this year. In the meantime, the team is hard at work building the giant sheds that'll help minimise noise, dust and light once excavation is in full swing.

Works are powering ahead at Clarinda, with excavation now underway for the tunnel boring machine (TBM) launch site. TBMs will launch from here later this year to start carving the twin tunnels. Lucky we love a bit of mud 😉

Works are happening all over the Burwood site. Crews are building large sheds to manage noise, dust and light. One shed will cover the tunnel boring machine launch site, and the other will store excavated rock and soil from the tunnels before it’s safely trucked off site.

Check out the amazing artwork on two tunnel boring machines created by local artist Hayden Roberts, a proud Wurundjeri and Dja Dja Wurrung man. 'Footsteps of the Past' features on the cutterheads of two TBMs which will launch from Burwood. Learn more: bigbuild.vic.gov.au/news/sub…
