🚆 Two years of train testing in the Metro Tunnel It’s been two years since the first train rolled through the Metro Tunnel Project, kicking off dynamic testing in preparation for day one operations. Since then, our team leading the Rail Network Alliance has been putting in the hard yards to make sure everything runs like clockwork. Here’s what we’ve achieved: 🔧 3,680 hours of rigorous testing 🚄 65,000+ kilometres travelled through the tunnels 👷♀️ 440+ shifts worked across testing and trial ops From building test trains up to line speed, to integrating station systems and trialling Victoria’s first high-capacity signalling system – our team of experts has been leading the charge, gathering critical data and making sure all the equipment and systems work exactly as designed. #JohnHollandTransformingLives #JohnHollandRailAndTransport #RailNetworkAlliance

💡 Industry to benefit from carbon intensity insights 🌱 John Holland was excited to present alongside Dexus and subcontractors KONE and A.G. Coombs at the AIRAH/MECLA Carbon Embodiment forum in Brisbane. The forum was dedicated to Waterfront Brisbane’s achievements in the sustainability space with specific reference to the challenges and opportunities to reduce embodied carbon in the building façade and services. Targeting a 6 Star Green Star Building v1 rating, accurately quantifying carbon embodiment in the façade was a key goal. John Holland played a central role in driving this process, working closely with ThinkStep through an intensive and customised approach to deliver a detailed Lifecycle Assessment that accurately calculated the carbon intensity of the Waterfront Brisbane curtain wall façade. The result? A verified carbon intensity calculation that will be published as an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) and be available for the industry to use as a reference. This helps close a key knowledge gap in embodied carbon, giving the industry a practical tool to drive better sustainability outcomes. 🌏 #JohnHollandTransformingLives #Sustainability #GreenBuilding #CarbonCalculations

🌱 Empowering futures: Garrett Smithers' journey through the John Holland scholarship Through our partnership with the NSW Aboriginal Education Consultative Group Inc. (NSW AECG), we’re proud to support students like Garrett Smithers, a mechanical engineering student at the University of Wollongong and recipient of the John Holland scholarship. 💬 “Being part of the Wollongong Water Treatment Upgrade Project (D4C) early in my career has been an amazing experience. The team has been incredibly welcoming, and I’ve learned so much working on this important project.” The scholarship is one way John Holland is working to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students as they begin their careers in engineering and construction - helping build skills, confidence, and connection. We know there’s always more to do, but we’re committed to learning, listening, and creating opportunities where we can. Thanks to the Delivering 4 Customers (D4C) team for showing their commitment to making young professionals feel supported, valued, and part of something bigger. #JohnHollandTransformingLives #D4C

🛠️ Double tunnel breakthrough at Pyrmont! Our two tunnel boring machines (TBMs) Ruby and Jessie celebrated a major milestone recently, breaking through into the Pyrmont Station Cavern. The TBMs are excavating twin rail tunnels for Sydney Metro West from The Bays to Hunter Street as part of the Eastern Tunnelling Package project John Holland is delivering along with joint venture partners CPB Contractors and Ghella. Work is continuing at the future Pyrmont Metro Station, which when complete will be 168 metres long. We're proud to be delivering part of Sydney Metro West, which will double rail capacity between Parramatta and the CBD and transform public transport for generations to come! #JohnHollandTransformingLives #ETP #JHCPBG John Holland CPB Contractors Ghella Joint Venture | Sydney Metro West – Eastern Tunnelling Package

🔢 Waterfront Brisbane steel by the numbers There’s a lot happening beneath the surface at Waterfront Brisbane! As we lay the foundations for this next-generation precinct, here’s a look at the impressive stats behind the reinforced steel cages supporting the structure above: 💪 1,370+ tonnes of reinforced steel 🏗️ 26 barrette cages forming the building core 🧱 115 diaphragm wall cages defining the basement perimeter 📏 95 deep foundation piles, up to 2.7m wide and 30m deep Each cage is made from three sections, spliced on site to reach full depth. Fabrication is well underway offsite at the John Holland yard in Crestmead, with deliveries arriving in the early hours to keep the momentum going. Over 30% of cages are already complete and ready for installation! The reinforced steel is a powerful example of the scale, precision, and teamwork driving progress at Waterfront Brisbane. #JohnHollandTransformingLives Dexus Statewide Steel Fabrication InfraBuild Love Reinforcing East Coast Cranes Robert Bird Group #AltoDesign #VTS
