Used where subject to seismic conditions or large amounts of pipework movement. The random motion common to earthquakes requires that seismic expansion joints to be capable of movement in any direction.
The West Gate Tunnel is one of Victoria’s largest infrastructure undertakings, designed to ease congestion and improve transport efficiency across Melbourne’s western corridor. With long tunnel sections and extensive underground works, the project required resilient fluid transfer systems capable of withstanding structural movement, vibration, and fire safety demands. Pacific Hoseflex was selected to supply specialised hose assemblies that met these critical performance requirements.
Pacific Hoseflex manufactured and supplied flexible stainless steel assemblies designed to provide long-term reliability and safety under challenging tunnel conditions

Used where subject to seismic conditions or large amounts of pipework movement. The random motion common to earthquakes requires that seismic expansion joints to be capable of movement in any direction.
Engineered to accommodate structural movement during seismic activity or settlement, these joints ensured uninterrupted operation of the tunnel’s fire suppression systems — a mission-critical requirement in underground infrastructure.
Supplied for various applications requiring vibration absorption, alignment correction, and flexible connection in confined or high-stress areas of the tunnel.
