“Roxtec UG™ seals were selected to seal the underground conduit entry points against constant water pressure for this project,” says Michael Adams, Engineering Lead – Power Systems and Construction Lead – South Yarra Substation of Rail Network Alliance.
The new substation, located at the eastern portal of the Metro Tunnel, is required to increase the capacity on Melbourne’s rail network along the Sunbury, Cranbourne, and Pakenham lines. It Is located underneath the South Yarra Siding Reserve, so there are stringent technical requirements to reduce its impact. The reserve has been upgraded and is being returned to as open space area for community use.
