Crews have positioned seven beams into place on the north side of the road bridge, marking a major milestone in works to remove the Calder Park level crossing.
The CC3800 possesses a maximum main boom length of 171 metres with a 12m radius, making it a suitable choice for major infrastructure projects, wind turbine construction , maintenance and installation, as well as the petrochemical industry.
Manufactured in nearby Melton, the giant beams – weighing up to 63 tonnes each – were transported to site overnight last week to minimise disruption and were lifted into place by the CC3800.
When it opens in 2025, the new road bridge will have 25 beams in total.
The Calder Park Drive level crossing will be gone for good in 2025, making journeys faster and safer, and bringing the Sunbury Line one step closer to being level crossing free in 2025.
The opening of the Metro Tunnel next year will allow for more services on the Sunbury Line and will give commuters access to five new underground stations in Melbourne.
