Construction animation
To build understanding of our project ahead of construction, we have developed a video outlining how Marinus Link will be constructed in Victoria.
It details the indicative construction methods along the 90km cable alignment in Gippsland, Victoria. It’s important to note that this video is indicative only, and not to scale. It’s a visual tool on what to expect when construction starts.
