The First Snowy Hydro 2.0 TBM, The Lady Eileen Hudson, Prepares for Launch | This Is Construction
Commissioning is underway on the first tunnel boring machine (TBM) for Australia’s largest renewable energy project, Snowy 2.0, in preparation for the imminent commencement of boring. The TBM is named the ‘Lady Eileen Hudson’ TBM after the wife of inaugural Scheme Commissioner Sir William Hudson who was an important Snowy Scheme ambassador.
The TBM, built by German equipment manufacturer Herrenknecht AG, was shipped to Port Kembla and transported to Lobs Hole where it was assembled on site. This involved craning the 400 tonne cutter head, which consists of 66 cutter discs, into position on the front of the machine.
A structural steel thrust frame is installed at the launch site from which the TBM off which the TBM will use hydraulic jacks to make its way underground. Four TBM gantries are assembled and ready to be installed as the TBM progresses.
Assembly also included the assembly of the conveyor drive station, vertical belt storage tower and preparation of the control room. The TBM is connected to power from the ravine substation.
An on-site event was held to mark the TBM’s commissioning, attended by Snowy Hydro CEO Paul Broad, Energy and Emissions Reduction Minister Angus Taylor and representatives from principal contractor Future Generation Joint Venture - consisting of Webuild (formerly Salini Impregilo), Clough and Lane.
