Mega project mapping! Snowy 2.0, our 2,200 megawatt pumped-hydro mega project, is a big build! We need extensive, accurate surveying and geospatial data from above ground and deep underground, where we're excavating about 40 kilometres of tunnels and a huge power station cavern the size of two football fields! Snowy Hydro is working with Australian geospatial information specialist, IntelliSpatial which is utilising world's best practice, high definition 3D models to help us deliver the project.

We’re one kilometre into the mountain, excavating the main access tunnel for Snowy 2.0. The Lady Eileen Hudson tunnel boring machine is making great progress and about 4,500 concrete segments - manufactured locally at our factory in Cooma - have been used to create 500 rings to line the tunnel so far. Snowy 2.0 is Australia’s largest committed renewable energy project, underpinning thousands of megawatts of intermittent renewables through its 2,000MW of capacity to pump, store and generate elect
