Webuild, as part of Future Generation Joint Venture - FGJV, is pleased to announce tunnel boring machine (TBM) Lady Eileen Hudson has achieved a significant milestone, successfully breaking through into the Snowy 2.0 underground cavern complex and completing her 6-kilometre tunnelling operations.
 
The breakthrough marks the completion of the massive 2,300-tonne machine’s tunnelling work on the project, having previously excavated a 2.85-kilometre access tunnel before completing the 6-kilometre tailrace tunnel, which will connect Snowy 2.0’s underground power station to the lower reservoir, Talbingo Dam.
