14TH St. - Greenline - Metro Tunnel
Washington, DC (1994)
Park Road - Greenline - Metro Tunnel
Washington, DC (1995)
Under major cities, tunneling through soft soils
requires extreme caution, monitoring and expertise.
In building over one mile of twin tunnels for the
Washington, D.C. subway system, the joint venture
formed between KiSKA-USA and Kajima Construction
utilized dewatering, chemical grouting, underpinning
and slurry wall construction to stabilize soils and
buildings adjacent to the excavation.
Open shield hydraulic excavator and precast segment
liners were used for tunnel excavation.
