We’re getting on with delivering Suburban Rail Loop – a critical project for our growing city and state. We’ve awarded the second tunnelling contract to build the northern section of tunnels for SRL East, with tunnelling to start in 2026. Consortium Terra Verde brings together global leaders in tunnelling, including Webuild, GS Engineering and Construction, and Bouygues Construction Australia. We’re making huge progress on SRL East, with works underway at all 6 stations sites, and tunnel boring machines arriving from next year. The Suburban Rail Loop is Australia’s largest housing project. It’ll mean faster and more reliable travel for Victorians and will help deliver thousands more homes where they’re needed – right next door to jobs, services and world-class public transport.

Webuild JV signs AU$1.7 BLN contract on rail project in Melbourne #Webuild will construct the northern twin tunnels for Melbourne's Suburban Rail Loop (SRL) East. This project will enhance public transport, improve travel efficiency, and remove over 600,000 cars from the roads daily. Read more about the project: https://lnkd.in/g4Ncp4GZ

Another big step on the journey

The Gamuda Australia & Laing O'Rourke Consortium recently won an award for Excellence in Social Outcomes at the Infrastructure Sustainability Council (ISC) Awards – but did you know that we were finalists in two other categories as well? Excellence in Environmental Outcomes and Industry Impact. Thanks to our client, Sydney Metro, and our industry partners, we are so proud of the innovative environmental outcomes we have been able to implement on the Sydney Metro West – Western Tunnelling Package. These include: ⚙️ Operating Australia's first Autonomous Tunnel Boring Machine (A-TBM), which minimises human intervention and achieves an 8% energy saving compared to manual TBMs. 💧 Designing and operating the Rosehill Water Treatment Plant which, without compromise, supplies our TBM Operations with recycled water – a first in NSW tunnelling projects. 🌍 Working together with Sydney Metro and Boral to develop a low carbon precast tunnel segment mix with 50% supplementary cementitious material (SCM). This achievement sets a new benchmark for other Sydney Metro projects. Watch the video to see how we did it. #SydneyMetroWest #Innovation #SustainableConcrete #Tunnelling #GlobalExpertise #LocalDelivery #Gamuda Hayley Young Theo Snyman Mervin Nair Ramesh Karnan Stephanie Mifsud Hau Wei NG Evan Morgan Ek-Khai Tan Yan Weng Szeto

🛣️ Lima's Ring Road Project is Paving the Way for Urban Mobility and Congestion Relief 🛣️ 🚗 Dive into the transformative Lima Ring Road project, a major infrastructure initiative designed to alleviate traffic congestion and enhance urban mobility in Peru's bustling capital. This article explores the comprehensive details of the ring road's construction, including its route, key junctions, and expected impact on local and regional traffic flows. Learn about the challenges faced during its development, such as land acquisition and environmental considerations, and the innovative engineering solutions employed to address these issues. Discover how the Lima Ring Road is expected to not only improve commute times but also stimulate economic growth and reduce vehicle emissions, contributing to a more sustainable urban environment. 🌍🚧 👉 Read the full article on Highways Today: https://lnkd.in/eQpdGvQj #LimaRingRoad #Peru #Road #Construction #UrbanMobility #InfrastructureDevelopment #HighwaysToday #TrafficCongestion #SustainableCities #TransportationPlanning

Major works package for one of Australia’s biggest infrastructure projects A joint venture of Bouygues Construction Australia, Webuild, and GS Engineering & Construction, has been selected to deliver the Tunnels North contract of Suburban Rail Loop (SRL) East in Victoria, #Australia. The project is valued at a total of AUD1.7 billion (US$1.07 billion), and Bouygues Construction Australia’s share is valued at AUD562 million (US$356 million). The works involve the design and construction of twin 10km tunnels using tunnel boring machines from Box Hill to Glen Waverley, including two station boxes, two tunnel access shafts, one intervention and ventilation shaft and 39 cross passages. SRL is the biggest #infrastructure project in Victoria’s history. The first stage of the project, SRL East, is now under construction, with tunnelling to start in 2026 and trains running in 2035. SRL East will open up access to key business health and education destinations in Melbourne’s east and southeast. In addition to the significant improvements to Melbourne’s public transport, the joint-venture has committed to implementing a range of sustainability initiatives and strategies on the project that will help deliver positive environmental, social and economic outcomes for the broader community. Melbourne is now Australia’s largest city, with an expected population of nearly nine million by the 2050s. SRL will slash travel times, ease congestion and help deliver thousands more homes close to world-class public transport. Betrand Burtschell, #CEO of Bouygues Travaux Publics, said, “SRL East is a city-shaping project that will greatly enhance #Melbourne’s public #transport network and influence the growth and development of the city’s suburban communities for decades to come.” https://lnkd.in/ebSgDcg3

#RatesEquity solved another barrier to more homes being built in Australua. Rates Equity means all property owners pay the same rates regardless of zoning or property use. No targeted rates or developer contribution costs. Just a single annual rate of between 1.0%-2.0% of property value for all properties with limited rebates for elderly low income homeowners/social housing and penalty rates for vacant properties. Rates Equity lowers the cost of building new homes considerably and also lowers rates for productive small businesses. The current system of low residential rates and property taxes pushes house prices higher. It also favours rental property investors over productive businesses.

Linking Germany with Denmark and beyond Undersea #tunnel facilitating North-South connections On Monday 17 June 2024, the #Fehmarnbelt Tunnel #project - the undersea #road and #rail tunnel linking #Germany and #Denmark - celebrated the inauguration of its first tunnel element. The element is the first of the 79 standard elements, all produced at the tunnel element factory in Rødbyhavn on Lolland. Its immersion in the tunnel trench under the sea is expected to take place later this year. The Fehmarnbelt tunnel is one of Europe’s largest #transport #infrastructure projects to date, the #construction started in June 2020 and is being co-financed by the CEF Transport programme with over EUR 1 billion. The 18 km-long #immersedtunnel will connect Rødbyhavn on Lolland in Denmark with Puttgarden on the island of Fehmarn in Germany. It will create a green ‘shortcut’ and the fastest route between Scandinavia and the rest of Europe. The tunnel will consist of a two-lane motorway in each direction and two electrified rail tracks. Driving through the tunnel will take 10 minutes by car and train rides will be of only 7 minutes. The Fehmarnbelt tunnel is expected to be completed in 2029. The works concerning the rail part of the tunnel are being supported by EU funding of the Connecting Europe Facility’s (CEF) transport sector, both under CEF I and CEF II: 1. The fixed rail and road link between Scandinavia and Germany 2. 21-EU-TG-Fehmarnbelt Tunnel CEF funding is being used to build the tunnel element factory, the tunnel portals and the interface with the hinterland rail connection, the tunnel trench as well as two transformer stations in Denmark and Germany respectively. Monitoring the construction’s environmental impact is also part of the funding’s scope. https://lnkd.in/eQUSvwus
