First tunnel arch pour complete for North East Link! Spark North East Link Tunnels D&C recently completed the first tunnel arch pour with nearly 400m³ of concrete placed over more than 20 hours to form the tunnel’s walls and crown. This arch form is one of the biggest in the world!

From here, the crews working in the Sequential Excavation Method (SEM) tunnels in Manningham will continue waterproofing and reinforcement works, having already completed 24,500m² of waterproofing, covering an area bigger than the MCG.

Webuild, as part of the Spark Joint Venture, is delivering North East Link. The project will take 15,000 trucks off local roads every day and reduce travel times by up to 35 minutes for commuters. Once complete, it will be the longest road tunnel in Victoria.
