Our northern portal site in Footscray in taking shape. Since early 2018, a lot of work has gone in to preparing the launch site for our tunnel boring machines that will begin tunnelling in mid-2019. This timelapse shows the piling works and digging of the hole for the launch site and the arrival of two huge gantry cranes that will lift the TBMs into the ground. You can also see the construction of one of the large sheds on the site.
