Science Centre Station Update

Pedestrian tunnel

• has been fully waterproofed and U-fill has been placed to nearside of the struts allowing struts to be removed.

• falsework has been removed inside and is stacked ready to be hoisted out allowing backfill to commence.

• Once backfilled, temporary pavement can be reinstated.

Main entrance

• excavation is past 3m deep and all crossing utilities are now supported.

• excavation work has been accelerated to 12 hour workday, plus half days on Saturday, thereby allowing us to accelerate excavation schedule by approximately 3 weeks

• Accelerating the excavation schedule provides us flexibility to better manage traffic, intersection piling and deck installation opportunities.
