Joseph Gallagher Limited | Specialist, technical workforce supply
All labour was provided on a 24/7
rotational shift basis, aligning
with production requirements
for continuous TBM excavation.
Our teams are fully experienced
in TBM excavation, deep shafts,
and environmentally sensitive
construction, delivering
Hochtief with the right people
from the start.
Integrated labour
planning
Our resourcing team works
closely with Hochtief planners
to adjust labour levels in line
with TBM (and project) progress,
mechanical downtime, and
programme changes.
We delivered consistent, high
quality, tunnelling labour
enabling Hochtief to maintain
steady progress on the
underground cable tunnel.
Our operatives integrated with
Hochtief’s shaft and tunnelling
teams, demonstrating strong
collaboration and professional
standards.
