How are we preparing to excavate the station site?

We are building concrete walls which are called 'diaphragm walls'. These concrete walls are built deep into the ground to form a reinforced structure for the underground station.

These are built by excavating deep into the ground, installing steel cages and pouring concrete to create a solid underground wall.
