Company’s tunnel vision pays off
Sep 3 2008 by Tony McDonough, Liverpool Daily Post
A 13-TONNE tunnel- boring machine has been put in place.
It was successfully lowered into a shaft in Aughton, near Ormskirk, by infrastructure services provider Morgan Est.
The ISEKI 1,200mm TBM was craned into position so Morgan Est could start work on a 40-metre tunnel under the Ormskirk to Liverpool railway line.
The tunnel is being built to prevent foul flooding to the properties in the Moss Delph Lane area of the town. Morgan Est is creating the tunnel as part of a five-year, £450m contract with United Utilities to replace, extend and maintain clean water, waste water and electricity networks in the North-West.
