WaterMountain Tunnel Improvements
Rehabilitation of a century-old bedrock water-supply tunnel serving a major California system.
View project
Bay Tunnel
A 5.5-mile immersed-tube rock tunnel carrying drinking water across the San Francisco Bay.
Design and construction support for a landmark underwater water-supply tunnel.
The tunnel crossed a busy navigation channel in seismically active ground, combining a pressure tunnel with a shore-based shaft and valve complex. Our engineers supported the design through construction, including cover and internal pressure checks, joint design and commissioning.
