Snowy 2.0’s newest Tunnel Boring Machine has fired up for the first time, before she makes her historic journey underground to help build one of Australia’s most important pieces of infrastructure. TBM Monica has been named after local First Nations student, Monica Brimmer. Monica created an artwork as part of a competition run by Snowy Hydro in collaboration with the Stars Foundation - Australia, an organisation that provides a holistic program that supports Indigenous girls and young women to

Hey Mon! Welcome to the family ❤️ Tunnel Boring Machine Monica has been turned on for the first time, and will begin excavating her part of a 17km long tunnel for Snowy 2.0 Go get ‘em, Monica! | Snowy Hydro

💥 Having a blast! 💥 The Snowy 2.0 power station will have a generation capacity of 2,200 megawatts and we're excavating one of the largest underground cavern complexes in the world to house the six pumped-hydro units and supporting infrastructure. That means a lot of drill and blast work! The total to be excavated for the main power station caverns is: 🛠️machine hall 310,000m3 🛠️transformer hall 160,000m3 In this video below, see how the blasting process is carried out, from the precise blas

💥Tunnel breakthrough!💥 The latest Snowy 2.0 project milestone is the breakthrough blast in the 216 metre-long tunnel connecting the water intake at the upper Tantangara reservoir to the gate shaft! When complete, this tunnel will deliver water to the gate shaft and then the headrace tunnel, all the way to the power station at Lobs Hole. #snowy2 #projectupdate #breakthroughblast #tunnelling #drillandblast | Snowy Hydro

Mega project mapping! Snowy 2.0, our 2,200 megawatt pumped-hydro mega project, is a big build! We need extensive, accurate surveying and geospatial data from above ground and deep underground, where we're excavating about 40 kilometres of tunnels and a huge power station cavern the size of two football fields! Snowy Hydro is working with Australian geospatial information specialist, IntelliSpatial which is utilising world's best practice, high definition 3D models to help us deliver the project.

Snowy 2.0 project update! ⚙️🚧 Hear from Snowy Hydro’s CEO Dennis Barnes as he outlines the details of the Snowy 2.0 project reset. While onsite at Lobs Hole we capture all the progress of the tailrace tunnel excavation by tunnel boring machine Lady Eileen Hudson and meet Future Generation's traffic and transport superintendent James Daly. Snowy 2.0 is being engineered to deliver clean and reliable storage and electricity generation for Australians for at least the next 150 years. Catch up on th

Snowy Hydro chief executive Dennis Barnes says the Snowy 2.0 project is on track to deliver power by the end of 2028, following several delays. The company has acquired another tunnel-boring machine to make up for lost time, but it needs more money beyond its $12 billion budget. 📲Read Isla Evans and Adriane Reardon's full story via the link to New South Wales news in our bio. #SnowyHydro | ABC Sydney
