Excavation work is underway at Mt Eden Station site. The team are preparing for basalt blasting that will occur early June

Work is underway on the vacant land on the corner of Boston Road / Normanby Road. The team are working to establish a work site, and it will be used to store machinery and equipment required for our construction works.

Demolition continues at 28 Mt Eden Road (former Pressprint building). Once complete, this site will be used to perform works on the rail corridor.

At Mercury Lane, the temporary shaft in the centre of the picture is progressing rapidly with two of the three ring beams poured. The shaft – which provides underground access for all plant and personnel – will eventually be more than 20 metres deep and covered by a massive noise enclosure, allowing for 24/7 operations.

Safety is paramount on the #Link Alliance #crl #cityraillink construction sites.
Those working on the Karangahape Station recently held a site-wide evacuation drill, which included getting a worker-sized dummy above ground from the temporary access shaft. The shaft is now more than halfway to its final depth of 22-metres.
A big thanks to our neighbours for letting 150 ‘orange vests’ assemble in their car park!
