Recently, representatives from highly regarded contractor Rob Carr gave a keynote presentation at the Victorian Tunnelling Centre, located at Holmesglen Institute’s Chadstone campus.
The speakers included Rob Carr Managing Director Damien Maitre and Construction Manager Andrew Scarr.
The session welcomed more than 100 attendees, made up of students from Nossal High School and representatives from all five Level Crossing Alliances (South Eastern Programs Alliance, Metropolitan Roads Program Alliance, North Western Program Alliance, Western Program Alliance, Southern Program Alliance).
The Level Crossing Removal Project comprising these alliances was established in 2015 and is forecast for completion in 2025.
The Victorian Tunnelling Centre trains approximately 5,000 workers each year in underground construction and maintenance, including the operation of tunnel boring machines.
This will support the thousands of apprentices, trainees and cadets who will deliver Victoria’s pipeline of infrastructure projects.
The recent presentation was part of an invitation extended by Fulton Hogan to participate in their Communities of Practice seminar.
Rob Carr operates around Australia and New Zealand as a contractor and subcontractor in underground infrastructure capabilities and was recently contracted to complete work in difficult ground conditions for Fulton Hogan.
