Transportation

Project

A four-lane, four-block downtown viaduct built as a structurally independent tunnel beneath a working street.

Deep excavation and temporary works engineering for a cut-and-cover viaduct in a congested downtown core.

A stacked, unbalanced section required staged temporary support, underpinning of existing utilities, and a spoil management plan that kept deliveries flowing on a constrained urban street network.

Scope of work

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