Victorian Tunnel Centre 

Holmesglen’s Drummond Street campus is the site of the Victorian Tunnelling Centre, where local workers will be trained in underground construction and tunnelling. 

The new facility includes a replica mined tunnel and a replica rail/Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) tunnel similar to the Metro Tunnel, with a full-height entrance, two multi-purpose engineering workrooms and training facilities including tunnel shaft and concrete lining spray simulators, as well as virtual reality experiences.The Australian-first tunnelling training centre will train thousands of workers as part of the Victorian Government's planned rail projects.
