Wastewater

Project

A 2.6-mile deep rock CSO storage tunnel with six shafts, cutting overflow events by design.

Deep rock storage tunnelling in a dense, heavily contaminated industrial setting.

The tunnel provides in-line storage to capture combined sewer overflows during storm events, treating up to 106 million gallons per day of peak flow.

Scope of work

  • Tunnels & Underground Engineering
  • Geotechnical Engineering
  • Construction Management
Hoffman Tunnels provided tunnel and underground design, engineering and construction-phase support.
