With my team I have planned and delivered the Barangaroo Station structure. “We have been tunnelling for the first time in Sydney history under the iconic Sydney harbour. In 2020 the project was also named Major Project of the Year at the International Tunnelling Association (ITA) Awards and Tunnelling Project of the Year at the NCE Tunnelling Festival 2020. The project has received various sustainability awards, including “Environment and Sustainability Initiative of the Year” at the New Civil Engineer (NCE) Tunnelling Festival 2019 for its sustainable management of non-contaminated excavated material, shipped by barge rather than road, and entirely reutilized in building projects in the Sydney area. The capacity of the completed metro will increase from 24,000 to 40,000 people/hour and trains run at an average of one every two minutes, significantly reducing urban congestion and improving quality of travel. To assist current and ex-serving personnel and their dependants to secure. To support and assist current serving personnel of the Australian Defence Force at home, abroad and those transitioning to civilian life. Sydney Metro estimates the project will generate a 71% increase in peak morning hours trips and a travel modal shift from the automobile to the metro of 20,000 trips by 2036. Whether sick, suffering from mental illness, of elderly age, homeless or otherwise in need of relief, the RSL will be there. Some 560 technicians and engineers, over 1,800 workers and more than 10 million total hours. Respecting tradition, they were given female names with an important meaning to local history and culture: Nancy, in honor of Nancy Bird-Walton OBE, an Australian aviatrix Mum Shirl, an Aboriginal and activist Wendy, for Wendy Schreiber, a volunteer in the only home for disabled children in New South Wales Mabel, in honor of Mabel Newill, head nurse at Sydney’s Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and, finally, Kathleen, for Kathleen Butler, the only technical consultant to John Bradfield, the engineer who designed the bridge crossing Sydney Harbour.Ī total of 30.5 km of mechanical excavations, completed in 17 months, and 3 weeks ahead of schedule, in early 2020. A total of 5 tunnel boring machines were used: four with a 6.93 m diameter for tunneling beneath the city’s most populous areas and a 7.05 m “Hydro” for the sections below the harbor. Our state-of-the-art technologies allowed us to complete a project whose technical challenges, innovative and sustainable design, and impact on mobility, make it one of the most important of those underway in New South Wales. What was not planned was the discovery of a 180-year-old ship, classified as the first in the region built in Australia. The project also includes the construction of 6 new stations toward the City Business District: Waterloo, Pitt Street, Martin Place, Barangaroo, Victoria Cross (North Sydney) and Crow’s Nest. Sydney Metro City & Southwest involves the construction of 15.5 km of twin tunnels, partially crossing the harbor 40 meters underwater, excavating into sandstone, marine deposits, and clayey seabeds. And it runs beneath the splendid harbor of Oceania’s most populous city. A new 15.5 km tunnel line and six stations, designed to raise the system’s capacity to 40,000 people per hour. to enjoy.Sydney Metro City & Southwest is Ghella’s contribution to the new Sydney Metro, the largest infrastructural project in Australia. As with any large city, there are always events, exhibitions, concerts, etc. Make sure you find out what's on in Sydney when you visit.We'd stay there again: the location was excellent, the amenities fair, and $250/night for a two bedroom flat at peak tourist season is a great deal We stayed in a serviced apartment, the Sydney Waldorf Apartment Hotel.We've heard many good things about it, both the animals and views, but we felt like we'd covered all the Aussie fauna already and didn't want to see boring old elephants, giraffes, and lions :-) Well, the first three definitely are, we didn't have time to visit the fourth having spent all our time at Manly beach! Buy a combined ticket for these four attractions (Aquarium, Wildlife World, Tower, and Manly Aquarium), you'll save a lot and these are worth visiting.Contrary to San Fran in the summer you will likely get some rain but, even when heavy, it doesn't seem to last very long.Manly is worth a stop: it's a lovely little seaside neighborhood with a very relaxed feel and a great beach.

We enjoyed our cruise but you can get some very nice pics just by taking the ferry to Manly (bonus: they have free wifi on the upper deck!).Visit the Opera House from the inside as well as the outside, check out the shows for any you might like (there's more than just opera!).
