Victorian Tunnelling Centre
The IQA Victorian Branch in conjunction with Victorian Tunnelling Centre (VTC) at Holmesglen Institute, welcome you to explore the Australian-first tunnelling training centre to train and skill workers to deliver underground construction including the Metro Tunnel, all as part of the Victorian Government's rail projects.

The facility includes a replica mined tunnel and rail/Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM), similar to the Metro Tunnel.  Along with a full-height entrance, two multi-purpose engineering and technical workshops and training facilities.  You will also view tunnel shaft and concrete lining spray simulators, virtual reality experiences, a cutter head, a refuge chamber and the only four-motion bridge and gantry crane located in a TAFE.  

The VTC is modelled on the successful Tunnelling and Underground Construction Academy established as part of London's Crossrail, and the Tunnel Training Academy in Kuala Lumpur.  For further information, please visit the Holmesglen Tunnelling centre website.
