Transcity Legacy Way Tunnel

This process involved a full prototype being designed, tested and approved. Day and night shifts including manual handling of 90kg weighted panels were required to achieve the scope of works. These works included more than 100,000 screws being placed into 2mm stainless steel purlins and over 50,000 SS spike anchors in a 65mpa concrete. The 8m high ceilings resulted in the works being carried out via boom and scissor lift access only.
