New Irvington Tunnel

Southland/Tutor Perini JV

Excavation on the 18,660 ft New Irvington Tunnel for the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) is almost complete with less than 136 ft remaining to be mined between the Alameda West Portal heading and the Vargas Shaft East Heading.  Holethrough was anticipated for October 2013. The contractor is using conventional tunneling with two Antraquip roadheaders as well as controlled detonations to excavate the two headings.  Both headings have been challenging with high groundwater inflows and pressures, some squeezing ground areas and extensive pre-excavation grouting required.

A new portal structure has been completed at the Irvington Portal site located in the City of Fremont and site restoration work has commenced. The site is being reseeded and mulched before the oncoming winter rainy season.

After holethrough, the installation of the welded steel pipe fabricated by Northwest Pipe will commence on the remaining 14,600 ft of tunnel followed by annulus backfill grouting with low density cellular grout. Project completion is scheduled for mid-2015.

Port Mann Main Water Supply Tunnel

McNally/Aecon JV

The $149.5 million project for the Greater Vancouver Water District was given NTP in May 2011 with final completion estimated for June 2015. The project involves constructing a new water supply main under the Fraser River, just downstream of the Port Mann Bridge. When complete, this new water main will help ensure the continued reliable delivery of clean safe drinking water to the municipalities south of the Fraser River, and will substantially increase the capacity of the existing main.

The water main will be constructed in a tunnel driven through soil, 35 m underneath the riverbed. The 1000-m (3,280-ft) long, 3.5-m (11.5-ft) diameter tunnel will be excavated under the Fraser River at pressures of up to 6 bar using an earth pressure balanced tunnel boring machine (EPB TBM). The tunnel will be lined with 2.8-m ID precast concrete segments. The next phase of project includes lining the tunnel with 2.1-m water supply carrier steel pipe and tunnel backfill concrete in the annulus. Finally, both shafts will be topped with a valve chamber.

The tunnel will be mined from the South Shaft and will mine the tunnel to the north at a downward gradient. Subsurface conditions range from sand and gravel to silty clays. Hydrogeological conditions at the project area are controlled by the combined influences of local topography and complex geological settings. Artesian piezometric levels were measured at the South Shaft are on the order of 5.1 m above ground surface.

The project is currently 50 percent complete, both shafts have primary ground support completed and base plug installed.  Final lining is under way in both shafts. Manufacturing of customized tunnel boring machine (TBM), precast concrete segments and specialized equipment for hyperbaric interventions is complete.

The design was completed by Fraser River Tunnel Group (Ausenco, Jacobs Accociates, Golder Associates), with Hatch Mott MacDonald as the project manager. Subcontractors included Bencor Corportation of America (Slurry Walls), Armtec (precast tunnel segments), Lovat/CAT (EPB TBM), Hytec (Hyperbaric Equipment); and Ballard Diving and Salvage (intervention support and equipment).

Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport Pedestrian Tunnel

Technicore Underground Inc.

This project for the Toronto Port Authority (TPA) involves 186 linear meters of tunnel, 10 m maximum tunnel diameter, 10 m minimum rock cover and two shafts (mainland and island sides). The tunnel is being constructed in shale rock (Georgian Bay Formation).

The pre-support system for the main tunnel excavation consists of a series of seven 1.8-m diameter horizontal interlocking secant bores (each 186 m in length) using two purpose-built rock TBMs, with each being excavated and backfilled with concrete in a sequential manner. This portion of the work started in December 2012, and was completed in May 2013. This will be followed by conventional rock excavation using a Liebherr 934 excavator with rock breaker attachment and a DOSCO roadheader.

The project reached a key milestone on Friday, Aug. 23, with a ceremony and barbecue at the island shaft to commemorate the breakthrough of the 186-m long main tunnel excavation under the Toronto Harbor Western Channel. Representatives of the owner, general contractor, tunnel contractor, private partner, design engineer and the local Toronto press were on hand for the event. Shale rock excavation of the central cut underneath the secant bore arch pre-support took approximately two months, with an average advance rate of approximately 5 m per day (two shifts per day, five days a week). The central cut excavation will be followed by sidewall excavation, rockbolting and shotcreting, invert excavation, waterproofing, and permanent lining installation.

Tunnel works, valued at $82 million, are expected to be complete by December with overall project completion in summer 2014.

Key parties involved in the project include Forum Infrastructure Partners (private partner); PCL Constructors (general contractor), Arup (tunnel design). In addition to serving as the tunnel contractor, Technicore built the TBMs.
