Airport Link M7

QClad were contracted by Protector Building Systems to come up with a range of acoustic systems to apply to the many Tunnel Boring Machine and spoil sheds required for the M7 Airport Link tunnel project.

The constraints here were time and room to operate with consideration given to the inner city surroundings and neighbouring businesses. Here QClad revolutionised the existing Durra lifting system to enable the complete roof and wall panels to be assembled at ground level, including purlins, acoustic panels, insulation, Colorbond sheeting, gutters and downpipes before being lifted and fixed into their final position.

Both construction time and exposure to working at heights were considerably reduced.
