Project

A four-bore highway tunnel through the hills, including a 3.5-mile bore and seismic retrofit.

Tunnel design, seismic analysis and construction management for a major highway tunnel.

The scope covered a new parallel bore, cross passages, a drainage and fire-protection system, and seismic resilience features designed for a near-fault site. Complex ventilation and emergency egress design supported a demanding operational and safety case.

Scope of work
