Site Engineer, passionate about engineering and new technologies that push construction boundaries. I thrive on challenges, both professional and personal, and I’m excited to join the Bridges program and take on new athletic challenges in Australia.
G’Day! After settling into the city, buying a car, and getting a bike, I joined the Suburban Rail Loop project in Melbourne. This project involves constructing 26 kilometers of tunnels for six new underground stations. Initially, I prepared the paperwork for a double shaft that will be used to launch four TBMs. Having not worked on a diaphragm wall in eight years, staying focused during long days of paperwork was challenging.
After being transferred to a nearby site, we’re aiming to start the production of 76 diaphragm walls in September. I learned about the unions’ influence in Victoria when I discovered the term “Rain Off,” where work stops if three raindrops appear on phone screens.
Workers also get a day off every two weeks due to the long hours. Joining a team primarily made up of Hong Kong nationals initially required adaptation to different work and communication cultures.
I had the opportunity to travel to Adelaide during the Easter break via the Great Ocean Road, which was fascinating. The route offered a continuous stretch of stunning landscapes over 200 kilometers.
I also attended the match between the Lions and the Wallabies. The entire city was lively throughout the day due to its strong Scottish, English, and Irish communities. I had the chance to stay near Albert Park, known for its Formula 1 track, where I could go biking or play golf.
