Project: Metro Tunnel Project – Western Portal
Total concrete poured: Approx. 1634m3
This exciting project involved contributing to the construction of the western tunnel entrance (portal) of the new Metro Tunnel. Works included:
The tight timeframes of the program were met successfully and to a high standard of quality and safety.
Scope of works/description:
We carried out construction of two large insitution support/foundation slabs for an Air Treatment Facility as well as various other insitu concrete items such as pipe support pad footings and an electrical switchboard support plinth. Critical targets were achieved ahead of program while also adhering to the high standards set by the client Water Resource Alliance in the areas of:
We completed construction of deflection walls to both the north and south side of the overpass. Due to the nature of the structure, a complex formwork design was required.
We implemented the Titan Ischebek Formwork system, which allowed us to construct from the top down with minimal bracing. This efficient system allowed a faster turnaround for pours and the job was completed successfully with minimal environmental impact.
