VICTORIAN TUNNELLING CENTRE
Documenting an Australian-first underground construction and tunnelling training facility for Holmesglen. Flying close to overhead powerlines and the M1 freeway, we captured aerial and ground imagery across the build for marketing collateral and tender submissions.
CASE OVERVIEW
The Client
INTREC
The Challenges
Flying our drone in close proximity to large overhead powerlines and the M1 freeway.
The Outcome
Aerial drone photography, ground photography and drone video documenting the build.
Creative Kicks was engaged by INTREC for Holmesglen Institute to capture drone photography and drone video of the construction of the world class training facility at the Drummond Street Campus in Chadstone, Victoria. The Victorian Tunnelling Centre (VTC) is an Australian-first, providing Holmesglen with a state-of-the-art facility to educate and skill thousands of students in underground construction and tunnelling.

The project involved the design, construction, installation and commissioning of two full-sized replica tunnels within the new Centre, created to the exact specifications used by Melbourne's Metro Tunnel. The first is a replica Tunnel Boring Machine and the other a replica Tunnel Boring Machine created tunnel. Features such as high capacity drainage and a cross passage were implemented to mimic high-risk environments and allow simulated shotcrete operations. Additionally, two multi-purpose engineering workshops (one wet and one dry) were constructed, along with front of house facilities including amenities and an entrance hall.
We provided regular content updates shooting with our DJI drone and Sony mirrorless cameras for INTREC's use in marketing collateral and tender submissions.
