How does a Tunnel Boring Machine work?
Ever wondered what a tunnel boring machine looks like up close and how it works? T2D's Senior Engineering Manager Frances McNulty walks us through the model TBM, currently stationed at the Community Information Centre in Hilton.
Tunnel Boring Machines are very large and complex pieces of machinery. The TBMs we will use to construct the T2D tunnels will be around 100m in length and 15m in diameter.
Plan a visit to our Community Information Centre and learn more about TBMs and the T2D Project.
Opening hours: 10am to 3pm Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and 9am to 1pm every first Saturday of the month.

Why is understanding ground conditions important before tunnelling?
Просмотров 1002 месяца назад
A considerable amount of planning and investigative work has to be carried out before main construction can begin for the T2D Project. A big part of this is what's called ground investigations. Ground investigations are crucial to the success of the T2D Project and excavation and lining of the tunnels, helping us understand the nature of the ground and how it will behave during construction of ...

Ground investigations and monitoring groundwater
That's nice, what about the highways in the rest of the state? Last I heard the bill for repairs was $60 billion and climbing!
Yippee wen can we start paying Tolls?
There are no plans for the T2D motorway to be a toll road.
I was actually researching about this project. I was impressed with how ambitious it is, but then I looked at what the other states are doing. Compared to QLD, NSW, and VIC, our project is like digging a little hole in comparison haha
I know I'm only dreaming, but when the South Road tunnels are done, I'd love to see one of these dig a tunnel for freight trains from just south of Mitcham, all the way through to Callington. (Sigh... a man can dream)🤔😁
And once they're done with digging a rail tunnel through the hills, they should then use it to create one from the bottom of the south eastern freeway, to link up with the north/south corridor so you can seamlessly transition between the two without any lights. Then a tunnel to finally get some rail between the Adelaide Airport and Adelaide Station. Perhaps after all that they could even make the Adelaide Station a through station and finally get trains to the eastern suburbs. Maybe by the end of the century Adelaide might finally have a sensible transport system.
@@EngiocGames Cool Ideas. With the Airport though, I'd run the underground railway straight up the center of Adelaide, with a station under the Central Market or Victoria square. Then I'd split the track with a lime out east, and a loop around to the current station, and one at Rundle Mall, near Pultney Street.😁
Pretty sure I saw the same video about a week ago. Has something changed in the plan, or is this just a re-post?
Great
I love Induced demand!
I would like to know were the re routing of vehicles are being put in place, i have rung a number of times and they say they dont know... rubbish
HeysenTunnels were first.
All images are at least one year old…show something new, maybe in 2040
Caring about the community, such utter hypocrisy. My wife and I live in Blackwood and suffer from ear piecing freight train noise 24/7. How in 2024 the ATC and their clients can get away with such blatant disregard for the "community". The EPA do nothing, they are useless.. Please add your comments, Thank you.
Hello. What company makes this boring machine?
As usual, it is difficult to get all the information from these videos. They need to be slowed down and have Voice over commentary. My main question is how do people coming east up Raglang Avenue from Marion Road turn right to get Home along south Road to suburb such as Saint Marys Darlington and Flagstaff Hill etc. do I have to go into Edward Street drive up to Winston Avenue turn right back down into Price Avenue to South Road.. What do other people think about this?
You would take the link road from the new Raglan Avenue roundabout to the Edward Street traffic lights to turn right onto South Road
If the lights remain at Furness Ave what has been achieved apart from shifting the lights to the South side of Hungry Jacks ? Will work beautifully if the traffic flow is the same as the video - but fail miserably with the actual South Road traffic volume!!!
Yup I just cannot see this working either
there is a Housing crisies in SA and all this Idiot thinks of is ...Highway ...yeah another highway lets spend $$$$$ we dont have ( ooops we can by making police speed cameras pull over more people ) this Idiot of a prime minster has No clue how to run the state
I'm all for aligning Raglan Ave and Edward St. But there are new traffic lights at Price St. This is just moving the Raglan Ave lights to the South a bit.
Agreed. This is wasting all of the gains made by removing the dogleg.
lights at price should only only be the relocated pedestrian
Agreed. All traffic entering Castle Plaza should be pushed to the side streets to prevent stopping the flow along South Road.
It's just lazy to put traffic lights at every intersection
what we need is better public transport, an actual real metro train system and proper bike infrastructure. instead we get this 15 billion pile of shit that'll only make it more car obsessed
this project doesn't even have separated bike lanes
Wouldn't a train be more efficient?
Shut up boomer
Where's the exit to sir Donald bradman drive / airport going to be?
Curious, is the current demo work that's been done to the western side of South Rd, North bound to Celtic Ave complete or is there more to come?
It’ll be ready in 2050 and cost of 20 billions…and Mali will be happy in some retirement village, wondering where is ANZAC day
only talk, nothing more
Can you PLEASE make sure to include signage around KEEPING LEFT UNLESS OVERTAKING!!?? This is main scourge on our roads and is the number one frustration of most drivers. Please and thank you!
Nice.
just know this costs 15 billion: with a thenth of the cost it's possible to build an extensive bikenetwork with countless bikebridges over all our dangerous roads, allowing people to bike to places again. Instead of creating more car traffic, this would get rid of cars because people wont use their cars to go to work, school, doctors, shops... Less conjestion = lower travelling times and better air quality everywhere. this would make every car trip 20 minutes shorter, people healthier because of the better air quality and the fact that they can bike to places again with only 1.5 BILLION. That's another 13.5 billion that can be spent on parks, public transport and more effective upgrades to roads. T2D howerver: only torrens to darlington 20 minutes shorter, more cars worse air quality, and still no way to do anything without a car.
You know what would be a nice? A bike path that bypasses cross road towards Crafers Bikepath up the SE Freeway. Because on Cross road you'll either get hit by a truck or screamed at for holding traffic up when the painted "bike lane" runs out. Useless planners.
Selfish of me I know, but I would like weekly updates on where the TBMs are in relation to surface streets. It would be fun to keep track of the progress that way. 😊
This construction will take at least 10 years….the governments are changing, money is running dry…just wondering
My biggest complaint to the T2D channel. This is RUclips, not a boardroom. Try to move away from the twinkly music, text and graphics that make you feel good, and do more informative videos. I know you can do them, I've seen them. Also I think you need to take the bull by the horns and answer some of the criticisms people put in the comment section. Pretending they don't exist and ignoring them makes it look like you can't justify your work. True you can't change some peoples mind, but don't just lay down and accept the lies.
Must disagree with most commenters here, but only to a small degree. Firstly YES we do need more, much more, when it comes to frequent and efficient suburban rail in Adelaide. (side note: Over the years I have noticed one political party has consistently spoken out against rail, and canceled plans when they are in power. Please keep them out or try to change their minds.) But at the same time, I believe we can not avoid looking at the waste of time and energy we have because of an over stressed north/south corridor. Remember life before the south eastern freeway? All trucks had to pass through places like Hahndorf, clogging up the town and running slow and inefficiently. I believe we need this project. Don't forget, we need more and better rail too.
I have to agree with this sentiment. There should be a north south corridor which bypasses, well... everything. And lets be honest, this will massively improve driving for all individuals. Not sure about long term viability as it may cause more induced demand, but it will work in the short term at least. I do hate parts of this project tho. It really looks like it'll be a car centric design over everything. I did see a very small tidbit about better walking access. but it was super insignificant compared to the ideals of the rest of the project. Who actually enjoys walking next to highways? I do wonder how disabled individuals are going to enjoy this. And once again, it looks like instead of taking cyclists off the road and onto their own dedicated paths is once again being shot down. I still don't understand why we have "cycle lanes" along South Road, especially when their only active during certain times, and then get relegated to car parking, throwing cyclists into 60km/h traffic; that just sucks for everyone involved. And I couldn't agree more with rail projects idea. There such a lack of meaningful investment over the years gone by. I hope things start picking up, but it feels more like a whim than a tangible idea that any major projects will be coming through the pipeline. Just to bring it home, I'm completely agreeing with you, just wanted to express some of my own aversions to this project. It could be much worse, but its still not great by all metrics.
I completely agree, no point investing in buses only to be stuck in traffic, adding bike lanes and walk ways help for shorter journeys however I don't like getting Stuck for an hour each way on a 10km stretch of south road every day so this is a game changer for a lot of people especially since I go to victor harbour every day it'll reduce the trip time significantly. Should have been done years ago. And also our train lines are pathetic
@@funnybunny230 Funny thing is, though I was a minibus driver in Adelaide, I have now moved to Victor Harbor to care for an elderly family member. I plan to go back some day and check out the new expressway. (and push for better rail infrastructure.)
Looks sick 👍
Is this for real or something from Utopia?
„Less congestion“ - builds more roads lol. If you want to reduce congestion put them in something else than a car. Safes money as well.
How about no more mass migration suffocating the country
Well I know just as little about this part of the project as before I watched the vid. Are these the same people who worked on the "yes" campaign? Nice graphics though.
Wtf I need to google more
This won‘t change anything except increase car usage. Build public transport instead.
"ONE MORE LANE GUYS, I SWEAR IT WILL FIX TRAFFIC FOR REAL THIS TIME!"
just put a train in it and call it a subway
build a tram or train line one more lane solves nothing
@@martythemartian99 it will work for about a month then go back to being shit that's how road stuff works if we had more options your job wolud be way easier ruclips.net/video/xtO_rF-OQ7w/видео.html
@@idjles Bad argument. Not all the train lines are there. Some were never built, some have been shut down and removed, and some no longer have passenger services.
Can we do it without too much red tape, and over expenditure? Just needs a change of government and some fuddy duddy will can the project because they didn't think of it before the previous government, out of spite. But I hope that road is done to schedule, budjet, as I too am sick of that 12k mess in between the two expressways. Then, all we need in the meantime for the new Victor harbour road to be finished.
Highways only lead to more congestion, just look at Los Angeles and tell me that their highways are a success, I dare you. Public transit and walkable areas are the keys for a better future. Not more roads.
not everyone can take a train to work . Also many cities around the world have great motorways built that suit the population
“Highways only lead to more congestion”, rubbish! Only people who travel the length of South Rd, Nth to Sth and vice versa daily can appreciate this project. All the naysayers are just ignorant complainers.
@@ausguy5052 he probably sits in his little apartment in north Adelaide and hates the noise of ICE vehicles
@@CurtisLSA Sounds like you’re spot on with that assessment. If only he could be transported back 20+ years and stuck in a car on a 40+ degree day on South Rd in peak afternoon traffic where you’re moving at a snails pace and your A/C is doing jack shit. I think he would have a completely different outlook to a continuous highway/expressway.
No vision at all on the Castle Plaza section. New plan shows 3 lanes for the Anzac Highway underpass but existing underpass at many $$$$ is only 2 lanes - Does that have to be deconstructed? Tom comments do it once - If so remove traffic lights at all major intersections by having overpasses. Do it once and do it right for the future - Reduce traffic lights everywhere by building better access and turn roads - overpasses etc. Did I miss the vision of the Emerson crossing impact? That should be at least 3 layers high in some form to allow a tunnel for the train and easy (No traffic light) roadway on South Road and also on Cross Road. This intersection does not need any traffic lights.
Probably because that section is underground, meaning the Castle Plaza area will see reduced congestion (yay) due to it mainly being local traffic.
Yes, and time. When is this starting and what is the new approximate time frame? I was wondering if there were plans for Gepps Cross? It could do with an overpass and underpass to get traffic flowing, it is a major bottleneck on the Main North Road.
When is the major work starting?
