Transportation

Project

A 3.1-mile underground extension of the Market Street subway, delivering twin bored tunnels, three underground stations and a cavern beneath an operating city centre.

Design and construction management support for one of the most technically demanding urban transit projects of its kind.

The alignment threads beneath a seismically active, building-occupied corridor, requiring low-vibration tunnelling, groundwater control and continuous settlement monitoring. Our teams delivered excavation support design, shaft and station structures, and construction phase engineering through to handover.

Scope of work
