Further building on this successful platform, our team of young engineers developed the Autonomous Tunnel Boring Machine (A-TBM), another

Our multiple award-winning A-TBM has not only enabled Gamuda to complete our projects faster, safer and at lower costs, it has also opened
doors for us overseas. In FY2022, we introduced this technology in Australia. Meanwhile, we are investing in further building our tunnelling
