Melbourne Metro Early Works

Tunnelling & Shaft Excavation for John Holland Client: John Holland, 2018

Andrew Predika, Director of Substrata Group, led the team at the associated GHE Group in providing advanced engineering solutions for tunnelling projects in Melbourne’s CBD. The team utilised specially engineered excavators equipped with state-of-the-art Prolec PME 500 load safety management systems featuring Pitch and Roll capabilities. These excavators played a crucial role in ensuring continuous shaft excavation while maintaining the highest safety standards. They were essential for lifting and installing heavy steel struts and structural waler beams in tight, confined spaces, as well as integrating complex steel structures using the YHL Yongnam System. By leveraging cutting-edge technology and skilled operators, the team not only met but surpassed project timelines, delivering results ahead of schedule. This success highlights the company’s expertise in managing complex projects with bespoke, technology-driven solutions.

"Using the latest technology Prolec system on specially engineered excavators designed for lifting heavy steel beams in tight spaces, we’ll deliver safe, efficient 24/7 excavation and lifting operations, ensuring the project finishes ahead of schedule."
