t australia east end of the job , and there was the existing issue of a carriageway that wasn ’ t due to be moved until later in the project . Disassembling the TBMs was done with the help of a hydraulic jacking system , which allowed the guys who did the tunnelling to disassemble the TBMs within the existing cut and cover structures .
Brisbane Botanic Gardens Mount Coot-tha The Brisbane Botanic Gardens Mount Coot-tha are located at the western end of the tunnel . Part of the bid for the project included that the design for the tunnel at the western end would form part of an expansion to the Gardens .
The reinstatement of the Toowong worksite will be the largest upgrade to the Botanic Gardens since they opened in 1970 , and includes a kitchen garden , amphitheatre , forest walk , playground and an 18 megalitre lagoon to help drought proof the Gardens .
The expansion will also feature a range of attractions for visitors including lagoon walks and a new events lawn with amphitheatre seating
Completion of the tunnel project is little less than a year away . “ We ’ re always concentrating on the lessons learned as we continue with construction ,” Brett commented .
“ Construction solutions from the beginning of the project have influenced our decisions through the rest of the project , and will continue to do so until the completion of the tunnel .”
