About the tunnel boring machines

The T2D Project will have three 15m diameter TBMs working concurrently so that the Southern and Northern Tunnels can be constructed at the same time. There will also be two smaller 4m diameter mini TBMs that will excavate the cross passages between the main tunnels.

These cross passages are located every 120m and house equipment which support the day-to-day operations of the tunnels. They also form part of the tunnel safety system, allowing access for tunnel and emergency service personnel as needed.

Tunnel depths

Depth shown is indicative and may vary due to ground conditions and detailed design.

Depth measurements have been calculated from the property boundary to the tunnel roof.
