Manchester Sheffield Tunnel Project Explores Efficient Tunnelling Techniques

As a "Northerner", I have strong views on the relative lack of transport investment in the North, as compared to the South. In fact, it was part of the reason I moved from Yorkshire to London almost two decades ago. Whatever the outcome of a conversation like this, it can only be a good thing that it's being discussed. Do consider sharing your views.

Tunnelling has officially started on South Australia's biggest ever infrastructure project. The $15.4 billion T2D Project will deliver the final piece of the North-South Corridor, a non-stop road from Gawler to Old Noarlunga, skipping 21 sets of traffic lights along the way. Three tunnel boring machines, Mary, Catherine and Elizabeth, are now working through the Southern and Northern Tunnels. Due for completion in 2031. Swipe through for how it's all coming together 👇

Building bridges ✨ NCC is set to build the Atløy Link — a major bridge project on Norway’s beautiful west coast. With an order value of approximately SEK 1.4 billion, it is one of the largest infrastructure projects in the region and includes three bridges, the longest spanning 925 meters across the water. Once completed, the project will improve mobility and traffic safety, supporting local communities and regional development for decades to come. Projects like this are a reminder of why infrastructure matters — creating connections that make everyday life easier and strengthening society as a whole. We look forward to starting this important project together with Vestland County Council. #NCC #Infrastructure Vestland fylkeskommune

What does it take to modernise a depot at the heart of a live railway? At Beckton, we’re supporting Transport for London to upgrade the Docklands Light Railway’s primary maintenance facility, reconfiguring infrastructure, systems and operations while keeping services running. Working on a constrained and contaminated former gas works site, the project requires careful coordination across multiple disciplines and delivery partners. A phased approach, supported by modelling and integrated design, has been key to maintaining safe and reliable operations throughout. The result will be a depot ready to support a new generation of trains and the continued growth of London’s transport network. Read our full case to find out more: https://acm.to/PoTA
