Hawthorn Mains Sewer

John Holland/KBR JV for Melbourne Water, 2021

In collaboration with the John Holland/KBR Joint Venture and GHE Group, Andrew Predika, Director of Substrata Group, delivered a comprehensive tunnelling solution for the Hawthorn Sewer Microtunneling Project. The project involved establishing the site with a strong emphasis on safety and environmental compliance, deploying a team of highly skilled tunnelling professionals, and operating specialised plant and equipment. Andrew’s team utilised advanced autonomous machinery and excavators, specifically engineered for precise shaft tunnel excavation and efficient spoil removal. This approach not only ensured the project’s high-quality, efficient, and safe execution but also highlighted the company’s commitment to meeting the unique demands of the project while delivering results ahead of schedule.

"In collaboration with the project JV, we deployed cutting-edge fully autonomous equipment and trained operators in this advanced methodology, minimizing risks and enhancing safety to ensure the project is completed ahead of both budget and schedule."
