Description
The TTP are delivering a new two track rail tunnel of approximately 176m length crossing the Highway 401. The purpose of the tracks is to increase capacity along the Kitchener GO commuter rail corridor as well as to accommodate the new Union-Pearson (UO) Express service. The new rail tunnels are mined under the 401/409 Highway using the Sequential Excavation Method (SEM). Our role on this assignment was to provide tunnel design services addressing the challenging conditions (e.g., very low overburden, intercepting piles and maximum settlement allowance) as well as providing on site design representation.
