After more than 30,000 people participated in the CRL social media naming contest, the latest TBM has been named Jeffie.
The machine will soon begin work in Mt Eden to divert a section of an existing stormwater pipe in preparation for the redevelopment of the Mt Eden train station, under a contract award to the March Bessac joint venture (JV), comprising Soletanche Bachy local subsidiary March Construction and Soletanche Bachy subsidiary microtunnelling specialist Bessac.
City Rail Link’s new TBM, Jeffie.
Construction
The CRL Project involves the construction of underground 3.45 km twin tunnels 42 m below Auckland’s city centre; it will better connect the Auckland rail network by linking the existing rail networks at Britomart Station and Mt Eden Station.
The CRL includes the redevelopment of Mt Eden Station, as well as the construction of two new underground stations.
The project jointly funded by the Government and Auckland Council and it is estimated that the total cost will within a funding envelope of NZ$3.4 billion (AU$3.18 billion).
The project will use a number of construction methods, including tradition civil engineering methods, tunnel boring, microtunnelling and pipe jacking.
The popular forums feature educational presentations from industry experts, followed by an opportunity to network with colleagues and potential clients.

“The spacers are quick and easy to install, they also aid in the joining of the pipe providing a strong handle to screw threads together,” said L&D Micro Tunnelling Co-Owner Chris Dean.
The Merri Creek sewer is part of Melbourne Water’s sewerage network, which services customers in the inner northern suburbs of Melbourne.
After inspections revealed that the sewer was in poor condition and in need of an upgrade, Melbourne Water began upgrade works that will ensure a reliable sewage service for a minimum of 50 years.
The Person of the Year Award recognises individuals who have made major and sustained contributions to the trenchless industry above and beyond the call of duty that help develop and promote the use of Trenchless Technology.
Mr Shooter encapsulates this quality with his extended engagement with industry events and publications, the majority of which takes place in addition to his normal work activities.
Over the years, he has presented papers at local and international Trenchless Technology conferences, including co-presenting the first paper at the inaugural ASTT Conference in 1992. Mr Shooter is also a regular participant in the ASTT Technical Forums, as an attendee and presenter, and has contributed his work to industry publications such as Trenchless Australasia.
Jim Shooter on site.
A long-time member of the ASTT, Mr Shooter most recently established and chaired the ASTT Microtunnelling Special Interest Group (SIG). The SIG has since developed microtunnelling design guidelines which are a breakthrough from the previous Water Services Association code design for Trenchless Technology.
Mr Shooter’s knowledge has been gained from a lifetime of hard work. In 1976, he completed his Civil Engineering degree at Sydney University, after which he went on to work for the State Rail Authority, before joining Sydney Water.
For 13 years, Mr Shooter worked in the construction section at Sydney Water, acting as Project Manager of Trenchless Technology for his final 2 years with the utility.
In 1994, he joined Pezzimenti Laserbore™ and has now been the New South Wales Manager of Pezzimenti Tunnelbore – a service provider specialising in the installation of underground infrastructure using microtunnelling – for more than 20 years. During the period, Pezzimenti has undertaken more than 1,100 bores.

The projects are part of an ongoing Water Corporation program to reline and renew wastewater pipes across the state, and extend the life of existing infrastructure by up to 50 years.
In West Perth, wastewater pipes from the Robertson Park Tennis Centre to the WA Italian Club carpark will be refurbished in February, while works will take place in early March for the wastewater pipes near the Watertown Brand Outlet Centre and in Mick Michael Park.
Meanwhile, night works in Perth will renew wastewater pipes running from the Wellington and Barrack streets intersection, as well as continuing renewal works on Mounts Bay Road, Spring Street, Sherwood Court, Irwin Street and McCarthy Street in March.
“We use Trenchless Technology to reline wastewater pipes where possible, to minimise the impact on the community by reducing the need for extensive excavation,” said Water Corporation General Manager Assets Delivery Nick Churchill.
“The community may notice an increase in activity along impacted pipeline routes, however traffic management will be in place at all times and disruption will be kept to a minimum.
“I thank the community for its patience while we carry out this essential work.”
Construction has continued at stations, cross-passages and emergency egress shafts (EES), with Airport Central Station fully excavated in January in preparation for the TBM breakthrough anticipated in March.
Other preparations for the TBM’s arrival include sealing the base slab, pouring concrete in the first of six stages, waterproofing and installation of steel reinforcing.
After a warehouse at the Forrestfield site was converted into a segment production facility last year, more than 30 per cent of the 54,000 segments – which will be used to construct approximately 9,000 concrete rings to build the tunnels – required have already been produced and are being stockpiled, ready for use.
At Bayswater, work on the diaphragm walls (d-walls) for the tunnel and dive structure is underway, with ground compaction for the heavy vehicle hardstand to be completed by mid-March.
A number of EES are progressing, including d-wall construction at the Wright Crescent EES in Bayswater, excavation to base slab level at the Abernathy Road EES and mobilisation of the crane for excavation at the Airport West EES.

The treatment plant is part of a multimillion dollar TasWater project to remedy water quality issues in regional towns across the state.
Contractor TRILITY, with partner Hydramet, established the specialist facility last year to develop the treatment plants, which will be taken to Cornwall, Herrick, Mathinna, Gladstone, Rossarden and Bronte Park.
Additional works on this project include the construction of a plant in Conara to supply local residents and Epping Forest via a new pipeline, the construction of a new treated-water storage reservoir in the Central Highlands and the construction of four new treatment plants for improvements in Maydena, Rocky Creek, Fentonbury, Westerway and National Park.
Zinfra is currently constructing water main pipelines to connect adjacent regional in order to supply Epping Forest, Judbury and Colebrook.
TasWater CEO Mike Brewster said the Wayatinah plant is the first of many new water treatment plants to be commissioned and delivered across the state in the coming months.
“TasWater made a commitment to address water quality issues in regional town supplies by the end of August this year and we intend to do that.
“We have successfully removed 13 public health alerts since we began our 24 Glasses campaign in 2016.
“We are on track to add Wayatinah and the other regional towns to the list, but there is still plenty of work to do.”
Currently, there are indications that the New Zealand Government will implement most, if not all, of the recommendations resulting from the Stage 2 Haverlock North inquiry into a widespread outbreak of gastroenteritis due to the presence of E. coli in the Havelock North water supply.
The seminars will cover the problems exposed in New Zealand’s drinking water industry and examine the key statements made, and will be presented by Water New Zealand’s Jim Graham, who was an expert advisor to the Inquiry, and Noel Roberts, who attended all of the Inquiry hearings.
The sessions will also explain the recommendations, taking into consideration the short- and long-term implications for local authorities and those in the industry, including elected municipal officials, water supply managers, and other key water supply staff.
As the recommendations are bold and propose far-reaching changes, water suppliers will need to understand the changes and adapt to a changed drinking water environment.
Each session will be presented over three hours, including a time for questions and discussion of any matters that are raised.
The sessions will take place at the following dates and locations:
Through collaboration with its suppliers, Sydney Water is aiming to design a less complex supply strategy with better outcomes for customers, including reviewing feedback on planning; design; project management, construction and planned civil maintenance; operational maintenance; by-product and resource management; and facilities management and delivery.
Sydney Water Chief Financial Officer Kevin Jones said the focus is on driving better customer outcomes and is calling on suppliers to contribute to the discussion.
“Sydney continues to grow, and we’re working hard to plan and deliver services for our customers to meet that growth,” said Mr Jones.
“At the same time, we are focusing on providing the best possible value, so we want to work hand in hand with community, government and industry to do this.
“That’s why we’re asking our suppliers to help us design a procurement process that is simpler and more efficient, responsive to change and helps build true partnerships.
“We want frank and honest feedback so we can improve our procurement strategy, making it easier for our suppliers and our team, and benefiting our customers by increasing efficiency and improving the service we provide them.”
The first phase is an online feedback forum, which suppliers can contribute to by registering via SAP Ariba and Sydney Water Talk.

Coliban Water has contracted Interflow for the construction of a 2 km sewer pipeline, which connects the plant with the sewer network aims to improve the plant’s ability to cope with the changes in quality and capacity of the raw water supply.
“We installed a pre-treatment dosing system in 2012 and carried out a process upgrade in 2014 to overcome issues in raw water quality,” said Coliban Water Manager Infrastructure Deliver Corey Bourne.
“The quality of the raw water entering our plant has changed since the plant was built in 2002.
“The plant can source supply from our catchment storages near Kyneton through the Coliban Main Channel and also from our capacity share in Lake Eppalock.
“With the construction of the Goldfields Superpipe in 2007 we have the ability to source water from the Waranga Channel and this water needs to undergo the pre-treatment process to control odour and taste, remove manganese, iron and colour from the water.
Mr Bourne said that the pipeline upgrade will help the plant cope with the increased wastewater discharge from the plant due to the treatment process and the increased frequency of membrane cleaning caused by fluctuation in raw water quality.
“The pipeline construction will involve a combination of trenchless and open trenching methods,” he said.
“Trenchless techniques reduce the need for excavation and prevent damage to trees and their roots.
“Less excavation also means less disruption to traffic, although there will be some minor traffic management on Tuckermans Lane in Big Hill.”
Works commenced in December 2017 and are anticipated to be completed by April 2018.
The scope of works for the project works package includes the engineering, design, supply, installation, testing and commissioning of system upgrades for three MURL stations.
MURL is an essential part of Melbourne’s metro rail network, which includes three underground stations below the Melbourne CBD at Parliament, Melbourne Central and Flagstaff.
“We continue to see growth in our pipeline of rail infrastructure projects and this award clearly shows RCR’s capability to support a range of complex rail systems projects,” said RCR Managing Director and CEO Dr Paul Dalgleish.
“We look forward to working with MTM to deliver a safe and reliable project.”

Mr O’Loan – who will be based in Melbourne, but provide technical expertise across Australia – will reinforce the existing Australian business development team as largescale CDEnviro projects continue to increase.
He will also develop market opportunities and provide support for new CDEnviro customers.
Prior to CDEnviro, where he has worked for three years, Mr Loan was a Project Engineer for a food processing company in the UK, and will bring his experience in the landfill diversion and environmental remediation sectors to the Australian market.
“Ryan’s relocation to Australia forms part of our business expansion strategy for this region,” said CDEnviro Business Development Director Darren Eastwood
“It’s a market that is growing at a fast pace, and Ryan’s expertise will be of great benefit to the region.”
QBCC’s new laws aim to prevent the manufacture, distribution and use of non-conforming building products (NCBP) – products that are unsafe, do not comply with regulatory provisions, or do not meet the claimed performance standard – at all Queensland building sites.
For the plumbing industry, the new legislation means the only accredited products fit for use are those obtaining the prized WaterMark certification granted by the Australian Building Codes Board.
Ed Ahern.
Nuflow Technologies, which has achieved WaterMark accreditation for its non-invasive pipe rehabilitation technology, is advising Queenslanders to make sure that new plumbing and drainage installations meet the all legal requirements.
“It is mandatory for all plumbers and relining companies to sell, supply or install products with this accreditation, and as part of the new laws there is now a chain of responsibility starting from the manufacturer all the way down to the installer to ensure all products meet regulatory standards,” said Nuflow Technologies Director and Founder Ed Ahern.
“This move is extremely beneficial to Queenslanders, who are now guaranteed products that have received the tick of approval by the Australian Building Codes Board.
“Consumers should ask their plumbers to provide details on the products they are installing – it’s simple, no Watermark means it is a NCPB and therefore illegal to use.”
Nuflow Technologies is currently one of two pipe relining companies in Australia that have WaterMark certification for their products.

Project Manager Philip Leyburn as the PVC liner is inserted into the sewer.
The relining project – comprising the inspection, cleaning and relining of sewer pipes – will upgrade the pipes and extend their useful life by up to 50 years.
The works will use a ‘fold and form’ renewal process known as EX Method, which is a trenchless PVC structural lining system manufactured in Australia under factory-controlled quality standards.
This method allows multiple liners to be installed each day, with a joint free finished and flow capacity improvements of up to 40 per cent.
“The crews access the pipe through maintenance holes, so no open trenching is required, minimising impacts on the community and the environment,” said Queensland Urban Utilities Spokesperson Sally Prosser.
“The relining process will involve pulling a soft PVC liner into the sewer, which is then formed into a solid circular pipe using heat and pressure.
“This project is part of our ongoing capital works program and demonstrates what goes on behind the scenes to ensure Lockyer Valley residents can keep their showers running and toilets flushing.”
Works are expected to be completed by the end of February, weather permitting.
The West Gate Tunnel Project will provide an alternative to the West Gate Bridge, upgrading the West Gate Freeway and linking it to the city and CityLink.
Weighing 4,000 t, the 15.6 m diameter, 90 m long TBMs will be launched from the northern tunnel portal in Footscray and, once in the ground, build 6.8 km of tunnel between the Maribyrnong River and the West Gate Freeway.
“These massive tunnel boring machines will be hard at work 24/7, digging tunnels that will be used by Victorians for generations to come,” said Minister for Roads and Road Safety Luke Donnellan.
The West Gate Tunnel Project is expected to provide an estimated AU$11 billion boost to the Victorian economy, creating 6,000 new jobs, including 500 jobs for people entering the workforce, and up to 150 jobs for former auto workers.
The first TBM will be launched in 2019 and is expected to take two years to complete, tunnelling at a rate of approximately 9 m per day.
Construction on the project is set to start within the next few weeks.
“We are building the world-class turn up and go train network Victoria deserves – with more jobs, more stations and more trains, more often,” said Premier Andrews.
“We don’t just talk about building the big roads and public transport Victoria needs – we’re getting it done.”
The decision follows an extensive competitive process with the world’s most experienced construction and tunnelling contractors.
The finalising of the contract paves the way for construction on the tunnels and stations to begin next year.
John Holland CEO Joe Barr said the project has already kicked off an exciting process of urban renewal for inner-Melbourne.
“This is an amazing project and we can’t wait to deliver it for the people of Melbourne.
“There will be revitalised open space above ground at all stations and additional entrances to reduce crowding on CBD streets.
“By enabling more workers easy access to the busy city area, the benefits will flow to businesses, employees, and the economy at large.”
It was also been announced that a CPB Contractors–Bombardier Transportation JV, known as the Rail Systems Alliance (RSA), has been awarded the AU$1.1 billion contract to deliver all site construction services, including civil works, as well as lead the design, supply, installation, testing, integration and commissioning activities for train and power control systems, operational control systems, and conventional and high capacity signalling on the new Sunbury to Cranbourne/Pakenham line.
The RSA will also deliver safety and efficiency improvements at the five new underground Metro Tunnel stations through the installation of platform screen doors, the application of which will be a first for Melbourne.
As it stands, the AU$11 billion project is on-budget, on-time and is expected to create approximately 7,000 jobs.
Speaking on the creation of the new jobs, which includes 500 apprentices, trainees and engineering cadets, Victorian Minister for Public Transport Jacinta Allan said, “We’re not wasting a minute delivering the Metro Tunnel, which will create jobs and a new community on the doorstep of the CBD.
“We’re getting things done, ramping up construction on this massive project to deliver a world class train network for Victorians where trains come so often you can throw away the timetable,” she said.
After a widespread outbreak of gastroenteritis in August 2016, testing confirmed the presence of E. coli in the Havelock North water supply.
By 21 August 2016, there were 168 confirmed cases and 355 suspected cases of illness, with estimates that more than 4,500 people had been affected.
The contamination lead to the Government launching an inquiry to determine the cause, whether all parties in drinking water supply chain met their obligations, and what needed to be done to prevent an outbreak reoccurring.
Water New Zealand Chief Executive John Pfahlert said the Inquiry identified systemic problems in the regulation and supply of safe drinking water, and the need for major reform.
“Unless there are significant changes to the way drinking water is regulated, there is a serious risk of another contamination outbreak on the scale of Havelock North,” said Mr Pfahlert.
“This report provides a blue print for the Government to move forward to ensure that our drinking water meets the needs of what New Zealanders and visitors should expect from a modern 21st century developed world water supply.”
“We support the Inquiry recommendation that the Government create an establishment unit to oversee the creation of a new drinking water regulator.
The report identified recommendations to prevent future incidents, including the need for mandatory treatment of drinking water and the establishment of a compulsory training and qualification system for water suppliers and operators.
It is an initiative Water New Zealand is already acting on, to improve compliance, competence and accountability.
Mr Pfahlert said it would enable the broad range of recommendations outlined in the Inquiry report to be implemented more effectively and efficiently.
“We simply cannot afford to have another water contamination event such as occurred in Havelock North.
“The outbreak resulted in many unnecessary cases of illness including loss of life, which has been tragic for those affected and their families. It has also tarnished our international reputation.
“Experts from around the world are now watching very closely to see how we respond to these findings.
“The inquiry has addressed all the key issues that have been concerning many in the sector for some time.
“It has produced a very thorough and well considered report. The inquiry asked the right questions and has come up with the right answers.
“We would urge that the Government implement the recommendations without delay because, if it does not, there is a serious risk of another similar contamination outbreak.”
In October, the company was a finalist in two categories – the Small Business and WA Regional Exporter categories – for awards that recognise WA’s most innovative and forward-thinking companies and exporters.
Despite not receiving the WA Regional Exporter Award, kwik-ZIP received a High Commendation Finalist Certificate, one of only three awarded on the night.
“The WA Industry and Export Awards provide a unique opportunity to celebrate the breadth and diversity of the State’s business community,” said Premier Mark McGowan.
“While the winning companies are vastly different in industry, focus and size, they all share a commitment to be the best in their field and create jobs and opportunities for Western Australians.
“For the export category winners who now go on to represent the State at the national awards, I wish them the very best of luck and have no doubt that they will do Western Australia proud.”
kwik-ZIP represented WA in the Australian Industry and Export Awards on 5 December.
The CCF NSW 2017 Excellence Awards were presented across 14 categories at the CFF NSW President’s Gala Ball on 10 November.
Ms McGowan, who has been with Interflow for two years, was the recipient of the Women in Civil Construction Award.
Interflow said she has demonstrated her ability to manage and deliver challenging rehabilitation programs to authorities in regional areas, with her approach a major factor in the growth of the business.
The Site Supervisor of the Year – Contracts Under AU$2 million Award was taken home by Mr Bozinovski, who has worked at Interflow for 13 years managing site works on large and complex projects.
Rob Bozinovski.
The award recognises his ability to manage projects with demands outside the scope of regular civil construction activities.
Of the 77 finalists, four were from Interflow, including Ashleigh Borg, who was nominated for the Contract Administrator Award, and Matthew Cremona, who was nominated for the Engineer – Contracts over AU$2 million Award.
“Our company’s reputation is built on honesty, reliability and competence, and it is very gratifying to see the industry recognising those qualities in our people,” said Interflow Managing Director Geoff Weaver.
“We are extremely proud of them.”
