THE CHALLENGE

Working alongside a 200m x 30m cut-and-cover station box in a congested site that was landlocked between two existing roads to lift loads weighing up to 60 tonnes.

OUR SOLUTION

With a 330-tonne capacity M2480D and 200-tonne capacity M1680D installed along the station box, our solution provided lifting capacity across the entire site without the need for costly groundworks.

THE RESULT

Adopting our solution changed the way the entire project was constructed and has since become a new blueprint for other station builds on the Sydney Metro project.
