Auckland’s City Rail Link’s (CRL) main contractor, Link Alliance and railway infrastructure company, Martinus New Zealand have recently completed installation of the second and final railway line below the central city. The newly laid 3.4 kilometres of track will carry trains underground north from Maungawhau Station at Eden Terrace and connect with the two new central city ones – Karanga-a-Hape and Te Waihorotiu – and downtown’s Waitematā Station (Britomart). CRL’s southbound line was installed last year. Testing trains inside the tunnels will be the next phase before the CRL is handed over to Auckland Transport and KiwiRail who will operate and maintain it. The track has been installed on what is one of the steepest sections of railway in New Zealand. From Maungawhau the line drops 70 metres to Waitematā, which sits below sea level. At its deepest point, CRL runs 42 metres underneath Auckland’s busy Central Motorway Junction. Throughout the extensive CRL project, Branach Tunnel Ladders from BLS Ladders have proven to be the most secure option for Link Alliance, providing safe access to the elevated and curved areas within the tunnel environment and enhancing worker safety and productivity.
