The Project is a large, deep, sewer tunnel

The 23 foot inside diameter tunnel is approximately 27,000 linear feet long, excavated approximately 60 to 140 feet below grade in soft ground conditions and will be supported by a precast tunnel liner. The tunnel system will allow the captured combined sewage to be stored and conveyed by gravity to an Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant (AWWTP) for treatment prior to discharge to the River.

 The major facilities of permanent work associated with the Project to be designed and constructed are include also shaft and hydraulic internal structures, diversion chambers, diversion sewers, adits, retaining work, green infrastructures, mechanic and electrical systems.
