Auckland is getting ready for the City Rail Link tunnelling:
Work has officially begun on the site where the tunnel boring machine will begin the big drill for Auckland's $4.4 billion City Rail Link project.
After a breathtaking selection process, a Herrenknecht TBM from Germany was ordered for the City Rail Link excavation.
The City Rail Link (or CRL in short) is a 3.45km twin-tunnel underground rail link up to 42 metres below the Auckland city centre. It will transform the downtown Britomart Transport Centre into a two-way through-station that better connects the Auckland rail network allowing the rail network to at least double rail capacity.
Tunnel Boring Machine naming competition is on for the City Rail Link TBM.
The Herrenknecht TBM will be renamed after one of the 'groundbreaking New Zealand woman'
