She’s ready! The final piece of TBM Bella has been lowered into our northern portal site at Footscray and is now being attached.

Bella’s cutterhead, like her twin sister Vida is one of the largest in the southern hemisphere and is powerful enough to spin two A380 aeroplanes a total of two revolutions per minute.

Check out the exciting moment Bella started to look complete and almost ready for tunneling.
