SRL major milestone achieved - The Terra Verde Joint Venture team has successfully completed piling works at the Suburban Rail Loop Burwood site, marking another significant step forward in delivering this city-shaping infrastructure project.
Over the past seven months, crews have completed:
-
635 piles (310 soft piles and 325 hard piles)
-
More than 14,000m³ of concrete for pile foundations
These foundations will support both future shaft works and Burwood Station, providing the groundwork for the next stage of construction.
Congratulations to the team on reaching this milestone safely and keeping momentum strong across the project
Webuild, as part of Terra Verde Joint Venture, is delivering the excavation of two parallel tunnels for nearly 10 kilometres between the future stations of Box Hill and Glen Waverley, the creation of 39 cross passages between them; two station boxes, two TBM launch sites, and one intervention and ventilation shaft.

About the Project
Webuild, as leader of the Terra Verde Joint Venture is delivering the contract to design and construct the Tunnels North contract of Suburban Rail Loop (SRL) East, a project that will transform public transport in Melbourne amind strong population growth in the coming years.
Commissioned by Suburban Rail Loop Authority, the contract entails the excavation of two parallel tunnels for nearly 10 kilometres between the future stations of Box Hill and Glen Waverley; the creation of 39 cross passages between them; two station boxes; two tunnel access shafts; and one intervention and ventilation shaft. The tunnels will be excavated using tunnel-boring machines (TBMs).
Suburban Rail Loop is a 90-kilometre orbital rail line that will help transform the way Melbourne grows, delivering more public transport and more homes. The first stage, SRL East, is now under construction, with tunnelling to start in 2026 and trains taking passengers in 2035.
