The Forrestfield-Airport Link’s two tunnels will be constructed with 54,000 concrete segments. A Forrestfield warehouse has been transformed into a facility to batch the concrete and create segments to line the two tunnels.
With TBM Grace's journey well underway, and TBM Sandy set to start tunnelling later this month, activity across all sites is ramping up.
With TBM Grace now tunnelling and Sandy soon to launch, production of tunnel segments has ramped up over the past month.
On Wednesday 16 August Premier Mark McGowan and Transport Minister Rita Saffioti toured the project's pre-cast facility in Forrestfield.
In the project's biggest milestone to date, the first of two tunnel boring machines has now begun its 8km underground journey from Forrestfield to Bayswater.
