After digging two mega tunnels for the Coastal Road project over a period of two years, the heavy-duty tunnel boring machine – Mavala – has been finally dismantled. The sheer size and complexity of the equipment can be gauged by the fact that the dismantling process took two months, starting from June.

The gigantic machine is likely to be used again for tunnelling work between Orange gate and Marine Lines.
