World Tunnel Congress and ITA
General Assembly updates
I
’ve recently returned from the
World Tunnel Congress (WTC),
held this year in Naples, Italy.
WTC is an extremely busy event.
In addition to the many technical
presentations, it is the only time
each year where the entire General
Assembly convenes. With the number
of member nations now totaling 78,
there is much to cover in a short
period of time. I will summarize the
highlights of this year’s congress here.
Various elections are always a large
part of the General Assembly, and this
year was no different. As chair of the
UCA of SME Executive Committee,
I am your voting representative from
the United States to the General
Assembly. Prior to the elections, UCA
held a breakfast for all UCA members
attending the conference. The main
objective of this breakfast was to
inform our members of the current
business before the General Assembly,
including issues of governance, policy
and of course, the upcoming elections.
Discussions were lively, as many in
the room had varying opinions on the
issues and candidates. I appreciated
hearing everyone’s comments and
concerns prior to casting votes on
behalf of our organization.
To get things started, three new
member nations were admitted; Kenya,
Albania and Lebanon. Surprisingly,
Kenya was voted in without being in
attendance.
The next vote could have been
dubbed “The main event” — President
of the ITA Executive Council. The
two nominated candidates were:
• Eric Leca, France
• Jinxiu “Jenny” Yan, China
In a very close ballot (32-30), Yan
was elected, becoming the first woman
to hold the position of ITA president.
The following vote was to
place four new vice presidents on
the Executive Council. The five
nominated candidates were:

Los Angeles’ Regional Connector could face
more delays thanks to labor shortages
T
he Los Angeles County
Metropolitan Transportation
Authority’s Regional
Connector Transit Project has faced
challenges from the beginning, and it
appears its completion date may be
pushed back again.
The Los Angeles Times
reported that the 3.2-km (1.9-mile)
underground light rail system
connecting the Metro Gold Line to
the 7th Street/Metro Center Station
could be delayed because of labor
shortages that have slowed progress
pushing the completion date to mid-
March 2022, Metro said. Rail service
is scheduled to begin about five
months after that.
In addition, damage to the
historic Los Angeles Times building
has slowed progress. Still ahead is
the intricate process of connecting
the three lines in the tunnels that
run between Little Tokyo and the
financial district.
The estimated construction
completion date has slipped about
four months since December. But

deadline that Metro established two
years ago, officials said.
“It’s probably a little bit early
to be predicting what day or week
they’ll be finished,” said project
manager Gary Baker. “I’m very
confident that we’ll finish this as
contracted.”
When construction began more
than four years ago, crews almost
immediately encountered problems
as they worked to relocate aging
water pipes and fragile utility lines
buried beneath streets in the heart
of the central city, the LA Times
reported.
Reinforcing and moving the lines
so tunneling could safely proceed
added months and millions of
dollars to the project’s schedule. The
tunneling machine later got stuck
under 2nd Street after striking a steel
structure.

But slower progress in recent
months has eaten through some of
the float in that schedule, Baker said.
The labor shortages span a wide
range of jobs, he said, including
management and craft labor such
as concrete workers, carpenters and
electricians. Without more hiring,
Baker said, the project will continue
to progress more slowly.
“There’s a lot of strain on the
construction industry in general —
large businesses, small businesses,
even Metro — in attracting qualified
staff,” Clarke told Metro’s directors.
“We’re seeing more and more
bottlenecks coming up.”
Those bottlenecks could pose
schedule and budget challenges
as Metro prepares to build nearly
a dozen new rail lines across Los
Angeles in the next four decades. The
historic building boom will create
thousands of vacant positions in
construction and engineering.
Five rail segments are under

Terratec to provide tunnel boring machines for
Pune metro project in India
W
ith more than 22 tunnel
boring machines (TBM)
delivered in India, Terratec
leads all other manufacturers,
combined in the country. The
company announced that it will
add to that lead when it delivers a
number of 6.61-m (21.6-ft) diameter
earth pressure balance machines
(EPBMs) for the the Pune Metro
Rail Project, in Maharashtra.
Gulermak-Tata Projects Limited
has selected Terratec to provide the
EPBMs for its two underground
contracts on Line 1 of the new metro.
In February, Maharashtra Metro
Rail Corp. Ltd’s executive director,
Atul Gadgil, announced that the joint
venture had won both of the twin
tube tunnel packages on the north-
south corridor. The 5-km (3-mile)
underground section of the 16.56-km
(10.3-mile) long Line 1 corridor —
which runs from PCMC to Swargate
— is the most challenging portion
of the line, as it passes through the
densely populated areas of Kasba

Labor shortages typically drive
up the price of bids from contractors,
Clarke said, because companies end
up raising salary offers to attract
qualified workers. That could lead
to Metro paying more to build each
project.

is expected on these contracts at
pressures of up to 4 bar.
As the TBMs progress, they will
install 1,400-mm (55-in.) wide by 275-
mm (10.8-in.) thick pre-cast concrete
lining rings, which consist of five
segments plus a key.
The order comes following the
very strong performance of two
6.52-m (21.4-ft) diameter Terratec
EPB machines that were used by
Gulermak-Tata Projects JV to
complete the TBM-driven tunnels on
Phase 1A of the Lucknow Metro two
months ahead of schedule.
“With this TBM supply order,
Gulermak-Tata JV has once
again reaffirmed its confidence
in Terratec’s TBMs, for their new
projects due to the excellent
performance of these machines,”
said Gulshan Gill, managing director
of Terratec India. “In recent years,
Terratec has emerged as the leading
TBM supplier in the Indian market,
having supplied 22 TBMs in the
last five years alone. Terratec’s

Twenty of the projects are
slated to be finished within the
decade, including the Crenshaw
Line, a smaller train to Los Angeles
International Airport, the Wilshire
subway extension and a Van Nuys
light-rail line.
Metro would need an additional
$26.2 billion to build the other eight
projects by then. Those include several
interchange improvements, a rail
line to Artesia and a Sepulveda Pass
transit line.

Pune is an industrial city that
has witnessed much growth in the
areas of corporate and industrial
infrastructure over the last decade.
Existing roads in the city currently
carry an average of 8,000 commuters
an hour in each direction. The city
experiences high traffic during peak
hours that leads to long hours of
traffic jams along with increased
pollution.
The Pune Metro aims to provide
a solution to the above issues by
offering a safe and eco-friendly
journey with a 50-percent reduction
in travel time. When complete, in
2022, Pune’s Metro network will
comprise three rail corridors with a
total length of 54.5 km (33.8 miles).

That includes negotiations with the

Metro stages construction vehicles,
and plans to build a permanent
ventilation fan plant. City negotiators
asked for $25 million for a three-year
lease for the staging yard, $10 million
higher than Metro had expected,
Baker said.
And a new design for a pedestrian
bridge from a Metro station to the
Broad museum could add $6 million to
the $10-million budget, Clarke said. n

Muir Wood Lecture paper available
I
n 2009, the International
Tunnelling and Underground
Space Association created the
Muir Wood Lecture in honor of Sir
Alan Muir Wood.
Each year at the World Tunnel
Congress a chosen lecturer gives
his view on tunneling, following Sir
Alan’s path who had a vision of
tunneling.
In 2018, Edward J. Cording,
professor emeritus of civil and
environmental engineering,
University of Illinois at Urbana-
Champaign presented the lecture,
“Monitoring and controlling ground
behavior at the source recent
applications to pressurized tunneling.”
Below is the abstract from the
lecture. The full paper is available
at https://about.ita-aites.org/
publications/muir-wood-lecture.
Presented are investigations
and guidelines for monitoring, and
controlling pressurized tunnel boring
machines (TBMs) to prevent ground
loss, and damaging settlement to
structures. The process begins in the
planning stages with the owner’s team
and continues during construction
with a coordinated program of
managing, operating and monitoring
the tunneling process.
Monitoring of ground movements
at their source is at the heart of
the observational method for
geotechnical projects. In large
underground rock caverns and on
slopes, borehole extensometers and
inclinometers have been used for over
60 years to determine the depth of
zones of movements and locate the
geologic features affecting stability.
In urban tunneling and excavation,
these instruments are used to locate
the sources of ground movement that
could cause damaging settlement.
For pressurized TBMs, such
observations, made close to
the advancing TBM, are key to
understanding and controlling ground
behavior.
Examples are provided of earlier,
open face shield tunneling where
ground behavior could often be
8 june 2019 Tunneling  &  Underground Construction
observed directly. The process often
relied on the ability of the ground to
stand unsupported, and the operator
was provided with equipment
with which he could not always be
successful.
The tunneling industry has
witnessed a revolution. Pressurized
face TBMs — slurry balance machines
and earth pressure balance machines
(EPBMs) — have enabled tunneling
at greater depths under waterways
and at shallower depths in urban
areas without damaging settlement.
Advances in recent years have
included the increasing capability
to coordinate and control the TBM
operation and monitor key machine
functions and their impact on the
surrounding environment in real time
as the TBM advances. Maintaining
and monitoring a continuously
pressurized envelope of conditioned
muck and injected slurries around
the face and body of the shield, and
grout around the lining at the tail of
the shield have resulted in improved
and consistent control of ground
movements throughout the tunnel
drive.
In this paper, real-time records of
key TBM operating parameters are
coupled with real-time observations
of ground movements and porewater
pressures immediately around
the advancing TBM. Borehole
extensometers, piezometers, and
directionally drilled horizontal
inclinometers are used to pin-point
the sources of ground movement and
ground water changes around the
TBM to aid in making adjustments
and confirming that ground control
is being achieved. The results of such
observations are described for both
open face shields and pressurized
face TBMs on tunneling projects in
Washington, D.C, Chicago, Toronto,
Seattle and Los Angeles.
The benefits have been most
dramatic in their application to
large diameter TBMs and to TBMs
driven at shallow depth in urban
areas. The 17.5-m-diameter EPBM
selected for the recently-completed
tunneling for the Alaskan Way
Viaduct Replacement project
for State Route 99 in Seattle was
the largest pressurized TBM to
be driven beneath an urban area.
To assess and mitigate risks, the
owner and contractor teams built
on previous experience with large
diameter pressurized face TBMs,
including tunnels in Porto (Portugal),
Barcelona, and Madrid driven with
9- to 15-m (29- to 50-ft) diameter
EPBMs. Ground improvement
and reinforcement methods were
implemented, but the primary
and most effective ground control
measures were in planning and
executing the TBM operation.
Continuous pressurization of the
TBM face, shield steering gap and
lining gap at the shield tail prevented
ground loss and prevented damaging
settlement throughout the drive
beneath Seattle structures.
Essentially, such a tunneling
operation achieves the objective
described in an 1818 patent
application for a tunnel shield by
Marc Isambard Brunel of “opening…
the ground in such a manner that no
more earth shall be displaced than
is to be filled by the shell or body
of the tunnel” (Muir Wood, 1994,
Skempton and Chrimes, 1994). For the
17.5-m (57-ft) EPBM, the settlements
immediately above the shield were
smallest when the tunnel was at
shallow depth, and there was no
surface settlement. The results were
the opposite of calculations based on
an assumed percentage of ground loss,
which show the largest settlements
and potential damage to structures
occur when the tunnel is at shallow
depth. That can lead to prescribing
ground modification measures or
adjusting the alignment to satisfy
the assumption, rather than placing
primary emphasis on preventing
the ground loss by controlling the
tunneling operation. Recent progress
has made reliable prevention of
ground loss possible with the real time
linkage of TBM operating parameters

Chairman’s Column: America’s Forum hosted during World Tunnel Congress

(Continued from page 2)
U.S. delegation successfully
lobbied the ITA executive council
and president to table the major
revisions until such time that all
member nations have sufficient time
to study them and make informed
decisions. Thank you, Artie Silber
for running around the conference
with me tracking down various
executive council members.
The final vote of significance was
on the so-called “Norway Proposal”.
Simply put, this proposal, brought
forward by Norway, was a request
that the ITA undergo an outside
organizational assessment to
ensure that the management and
governance of the ITA was properly
positioned to meet the needs of the
growing association. This important
proposal passed with overwhelming
support of the member nations and
Executive Council. I believe that
this review can only strengthen the
ITA as we move forward.
WTC 2019 was also the site of
the inaugural “Americas’ Forum”
meeting. This forum of ITA
Member Nations from North,
Central and South America was
first envisioned a year ago as a
way for countries in the Western
Hemisphere to exchange ideas and
innovations in a somewhat more
local environment. This initial
meeting was hosted by the UCA of
SME and attended by 7 of the 10
invited nations. In spite of the short
time we had to meet, we were all
able to agree on a vision statement
and discuss mutual concerns. The
second meeting of the Americas’
Forum will be held in Miami during
our Cutting Edge/ITA Tunneling
Awards program.
Finally, this is my last column as
Chair of UCA. As of July 1st, Bob
Goodfellow will step into the chair
position and I will become past
chair (read “pasture”). It has been
an honor to be your representative
nationally and internationally for
the past two years. I truly respect
and appreciate the confidence you
have placed in me and I know Bob
will do an excellent job and have
your full support.

Department of Transportation
(WSDOT) is mounting a vigorous
defense against STP’s claims that
Bertha’s stall was the state’s fault.
TUNNELING SPECIALISTS
By combining superior craftsmanship with innovative tunnel engineering and
construction technology, Bradshaw Construction Corporation successfully provides
cost effective tunneling solutions to the utility and transportation industries.
The Highway 99 tunnel opened
for traffic Feb. 4. The whole project
cost $3.2 billion, which includes
design, interchanges, street rebuilds,
decommissioning of the old Battery
Street Tunnel and demolition of the
Alaskan Way Viaduct.
Chris Dixon, STP’s project
manager, said in early 2014 that the
pipe became tangled in Bertha’s
cutting teeth, causing the machine to
overheat. Grit was discovered later
inside the seals of the cutter’s rotary
axle.
Contractors and the state argued
almost immediately about whether
WSDOT gave sufficient notice of
the buried pipe’s location. Court
depositions since then indicate STP
itself used the pipe to check ground

water before tunneling began.
Washington state officials say
the 203-mm (8-in.) diameter, 9.5-mm
(0.375-in.) thick pipe couldn’t have
stopped what was the world’s biggest
tunnel drill, at more than 16 m (53
ft) across. Matt Preedy, then a deputy
Highway 99 administrator, attributed
Bertha’s stall to “clogging in the
machine,” court papers say.
Insurance companies, which are
also being sued, say in court papers
the machine was “underdimensioned”
for heavy Seattle soils, while
manufacturer Hitachi Zosen, of
Japan, says it operated perfectly.
Despite all the sniping, the
contractors refurbished Bertha to
complete the tunnel.
Contractors had a duty to
preserve documents and materials
related to claims against WSDOT,
the judge’s ruling says. Among
other factors, the pipe pieces were
necessary for metallurgical testing
and expert analysis of shear forces
exerted by the cutter head against the
pipe. The boulders were significant
because they caused wear on the
cutting teeth. n

uilding and operating tunnels has been a high-
stakes endeavor in terms of costs, complexity, safety
and impact on contractors, owners and the public
for a long time. There are many variables that need to
be closely monitored and managed to construct a tunnel
on-time, on-budget and safely. Once built, there are also
many elements that need to be monitored and managed to
operate a tunnel safely and efficiently.
Fundamentally, the risks to the safe and efficient
construction and operation of a tunnel are a function
of the degree of harm and the likelihood of the harm
occurring. From a cyber security perspective, risk
assessments used to inform decision makers and support
risk responses are typically based on identification of
relevant threats; internal and external vulnerabilities;
the impact that may occur given the potential for threats
to exploit vulnerabilities and the likelihood that harm
will occur. This article focuses on creating awareness of
vulnerabilities associated with technology used in tunnel
construction and operation and some of the challenges
associated with remediation of these vulnerabilities.
As we all know, technology has been evolving at an
accelerating pace and infiltrating every aspect of our lives
in new and often
exciting ways.

become accurate, rugged and cost-effective enough to
come out of the research labs and into the equipment and
systems used every day. There are many opportunities to
employ connected computing devices and sensors to cost-
effectively capture, integrate and analyze key data with
minimal latency to manage risk better, improve safety and
avoid surprises.
A representative example where these opportunities
are leveraged includes the metro project Cityringen in
Copenhagen (Denmark) (Chmelina et al. 2016). This
urban tunneling project will be a completely new, fully
automatic, driverless metro ring line 15.5-km (9.6-mile)
long and situated under downtown Copenhagen, the
bridge quarters area, and Frederiksberg. The line is to
have 32-km (20-mile) twin tubes bored by tunnel boring
machines (TBM), 17 cut-and-cover station structures
and several emergency and ventilation shafts, cross-
over caverns and stub tunnels for future extensions. To
manage risks, the project monitors hydro and geologic
conditions; existing infrastructure such as roads, water,
sewer, utilities and buildings as well as project progress
data such as tunnel alignment, ring location, TBM position
and operating parameters and cavern excavation rounds.
A real-time monitoring system on the TBM collects data
that include face pressures, grouting pressures and other
operating parameters and sends this data to the contractor
as well as the owner. Other parameters measured across
the job include:
• Structural monitoring of stations, shafts, mined

• Geotechnical monitoring including surface
leveling, automatic 3D surveying and in-ground
instrumentation from piezometers, multi-point
borehole extensometers and other sensors.
• Building monitoring.
• Ground water monitoring including dewatering,
discharge and recharge water yields and volumes,
levels, conductivity soundings and chemistry data.
• Environmental monitoring.
• Tunnel alignment including ring location, TBM
position and cavern excavation rounds.
• Construction progress by excavated rings and face
chainage.
• Ground treatment such as geometry, drilling
parameters, advance rates and injection data.
For safety, a multi-parameter system measured
acceleration, acoustic emissions, electric potential,
temperature, humidity and air pressure to monitor the
response and stability of the tunnel during and after
blasting operations. Figure 1 depicts the information
technology infrastructure and network topology of the
monitoring network employed.
Correspondingly, the safe and reliable operation of
modern tunnels incorporate a number of critical control
systems distributed throughout the tunnel, typically
interconnected with one or more of the owner’s tunnel
control centers or transportation management centers

government, law enforcement,
emergency response organizations,
equipment/system vendors, etc.).
Typical control systems critical

include:

• Monitoring for hazardous
materials.
• Kinetic energy management

• Intelligent lighting control

• Physical security.
• Over-height vehicle sensors.
• Traffic control systems.
• Variable message signs — Changeable message

• Programmable logic controllers.
Further complicating these highly intertwined system
of systems, we have the Intelligent Transportation Systems
(ITS) on the visible horizon. ITS now introduces complex
vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-infrastructure and even
vehicle-to-anything communications.
It is easy to see the evolution of these systems. In the
past, these systems were physically and electronically
isolated systems running proprietary protocols using
purpose-built hardware and software. Now these systems
employ widely available low-cost wired and wireless
devices along with industry standard computers, operating
systems and network protocols. While these capabilities
offer almost unthinkable advances in the safety and
efficiency of tunnels, they also carry along some significant
challenges when looking to deliver protection from cyber
threats.

and configured by contractors with little, if any
cyber security awareness and maintained by
staff with little, if any cyber security awareness.
Further, the common use of joint ventures, alliance
partners, and outsourced services in the industrial
sector has led to a more complex situation with
respect to the number of organizations and
groups contributing to security of the industrial
automation and control system. These practices
must be taken into account when developing
security for these systems.
• The need for a security mindset — The fourth
often overlooked challenge faced trying to secure
these systems from cyberattacks is the need for
a security mindset. A security mindset involves
thinking about how something can be made to fail,
thinking like an attacker or criminal. Thinking
like this is not natural for most people, especially
engineers. Engineers are typically focused on
how things can be made to work and withstand
unintentional and extreme events. Only recently
are efforts beginning to emerge to engineer-
in cyberresiliency into systems as a functional
requirement.
Examples of vulnerabilities
Identification of vulnerabilities associated with
tunnel project monitoring/tunnel control system
infrastructure can be best obtained from open sources
including Industrial Control Systems Cyber Emergency
Response Team (ICS-CERT) advisories (https://ics-cert.
us-cert.gov/advisories), NIST’s National Vulnerability
Database (NVD) (nvd.nist.gov) and SCADA Strangelove
(scadastrangelove.blogspot.com). Publicly known cyber
security vulnerabilities are stored in the NVD and
are assigned a common vulnerabilities and exposures
(CVE) identifier. CVE Identifiers are used to discuss or
share information about a unique software or firmware
vulnerability; provide a baseline for tool evaluation, and
enable data exchange for cybersecurity automation.
The number of vulnerabilities in ICS and SCADA
components keeps growing. With increased attention to
ICS/SCADA security over the last few years, more and
more information about vulnerabilities in these systems is
becoming public. That said, due to the nature and service
life of these components of tunnel project monitoring/
tunnel control systems, it is likely that vulnerabilities
are present in these products for years before they are
revealed. In 2015, 189 vulnerabilities in ICS components
were published. Of these 189, 49 percent of them are
classified as critical severity and 42 percent as medium
severity (Andreeva et al, 2016).
Vulnerabilities are exploitable. Exploits are readily
available for 26 of the vulnerabilities published in 2015 and
for many vulnerabilities (such as hard-coded credentials)
an exploit code is not needed at all to obtain unauthorized
access to the vulnerable system. It is also important to
note that a majority of ICS security assessments show
that default credentials in ICS components are often not
changed and could be used to gain remote control over the
system.
Based on 2015 data from the NVD and ICS-CERT, the
most widespread vulnerability types for ICS components
often found in tunnel project monitoring/tunnel control
systems were buffer overflows (9 percent of all detected
vulnerabilities), use of hard-coded credentials (7 percent)
and cross-site scripting (7 percent). The top 10 most
widespread types of vulnerabilities are presented in Fig. 3.
While detailed descriptions and explanations of these
vulnerability types are outside the scope of this paper, a
brief overview of these top 10 vulnerabilities adapted from
Kapersky Lab’s Industrial Control Systems Vulnerabilities
Statistics are presented here:
Buffer overflow. Buffer overflow is a programming
error in which software, while writing data to a buffer,
overruns the buffer’s boundary and overwrites adjacent
memory locations. Writing outside the bounds of a block
of allocated memory can corrupt data, crash the program,
or cause the execution of malicious code. In total, 17 buffer
overflow vulnerabilities were found in ICS components in
2015, eight of them have a high-risk level. These security
flaws were discovered in different components, including
SCADA systems, human-machine interface controllers,
DCS and others. Four of these vulnerabilities have the
highest common vulnerability scoring system (CVSS)
score – 10, corresponding to the maximum impact (high-
privileged access), which could have been carried out by a
Tunneling  &  Underground Construction june 2019 17
 tuc
&
remote unauthenticated attacker.
Hard-coded credentials. Hard-coded credentials,
such as a password or cryptographic key, typically create
a significant hole that allows an attacker to bypass the
authentication that has been configured by the software
administrator. This vulnerability was discovered in 14
different ICS components (HMI, PLC, network devices
and others), and in most cases it has a high-risk level.
Almost all of the identified vulnerabilities of this type
could be exploited by a remote attacker.
Cross-site scripting. Cross-site scripting enables
attackers to inject client-side scripts into web pages viewed
by users, which could be used to steal user authentication
data (cookies), perform social engineering attacks or
spread malware. Vulnerabilities of this type are present in
14 ICS components (most of them are SCADA systems).
Authentication bypass. An attacker exploiting
authentication bypass vulnerabilities may be able to
capture or modify privileged information, inject code,
or bypass access control. Depending on the vulnerable
system, such flaws can have a different nature, for example
the use of a vulnerable servlet (NVD CVE-2015-6480),
a web server allowing an attacker to directly access the
information by ignoring the location header (NVD CVE-
2015-7910), or incorrect file system architecture (NVD
CVE-2015-1599). Authentication bypass vulnerabilities
were found in eight different types of ICS components,
including HMI, a network device, remote terminal unit and
others.
Cross-site request forgery. The cross-site request
forgery vulnerability exists when a web server is designed
to receive a request from a client without any mechanism
for verifying that it was sent intentionally. Then, it might
be possible for an attacker to trick a client into making
an unintentional request to the web server, which will be
treated as an authentic request. This can be done via a
URL, image load, XMLHttpRequest, etc. and can result in
the exposure of data or unintended code execution. Four
of nine vulnerabilities discovered are present in SCADA
systems.
Improper input validation. Products containing the
improper input validation vulnerability do not validate,
or incorrectly validate, inputs that can affect the control
flow or data flow of a program. Most of these flaws are
related to arbitrary code execution. Eight vulnerabilities
are present in HMI, SCADA system, real time operating
system and OPC server components.
Clear text transmission of sensitive information. Clear
text transmission of sensitive information vulnerabilities
allow an unauthorized actor to sniff sensitive or security-
critical data in a communication channel because the
18 june 2019 Tunneling  &  Underground Construction
software transmits data in clear text. Communications,
including login credentials are exchanged in easily
readable clear text when tunnel project monitoring/
tunnel control systems employ devices that do not support
cryptographic protocols that provide communications
security over a computer network such as Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL) or these protocols are not enabled.
Clear text storage of sensitive information. When
information is stored in clear text, attackers could
potentially read it. Even if information is encoded in a
way that is not readable by humans, techniques could
determine which encoding is being used and then decode
the information. This type of medium level vulnerability
can be found in tunnel project monitoring/tunnel control
systems’ ICS components, HMI, SCADA systems, Web
servers, and pumps.
Storage of passwords in a recoverable format. The
storage of passwords in a recoverable format makes them
subject to password reuse attacks by malicious users.
Essentially, recoverable encrypted passwords provide no
significant benefit over plain text passwords, since they
are subject not only to reuse by malicious attackers, but
also by malicious insiders. If a system administrator can
recover a password directly, or use a brute force search
on the available information, the administrator can use
the password on other accounts. HMIs of tunnel project
monitoring/tunnel control systems are the most affected by
this vulnerability.
Unrestricted file upload. Unrestricted file upload
vulnerabilities in software allow an attacker to upload or
transfer files of dangerous types that can be automatically
processed within the product’s environment. These
vulnerabilities have been discovered in ICS and SCADA
components. For example, (NVD CVE-2015-7912),
documents a high-level vulnerability where, through
a servlet, it is possible to upload arbitrary Java code
to a particular SCADA product and allow application
properties to be imported through uploaded files that
could allow arbitrary code and command execution.
SQL injection. SQL injection is the insertion of
an SQL query via data input from the client to the
application. Successful SQL injection exploits can read
sensitive data from the database, modify database data
(insert/update/delete), execute administration operations
on the database (such as shut down the data base
management system (DBMS)), recover the content of a
given file present on the DBMS file system and in some
cases issue commands to the operating system. SQL
injection vulnerabilities are common and their presence
has been documented in ICS and SCADA components.
Finally, no discussion on cyber vulnerabilities
would be complete without discussing email phishing
type vulnerabilities. Attackers use email phishing to
 tuc&
obtain sensitive information such as account credentials;
knowledge about how systems or processes work, and to
install malware (software written with the intent of doing
harm to data, devices or to people). The malware can
exfiltrate data and provide a platform for further lateral
movement within the targeted system. The latest Verizon
Data Breach Report (Verizon, 2017) presents that these
social attacks were utilized in 43 percent of all breaches in
this year’s dataset and that 66 percent of malware linked to
data breaches or other incidents was installed via malicious
email attachments.
Up to this point, the discussion has been around known
vulnerabilities. The 2017 Verizon Data Breach Report
(Verizon, 2017) once again supports the validity of this
focus as, of the 1,935 breaches analyzed, 88 percent were
accomplished using a familiar list of nine attack vectors.
These breaches could probably have been prevented by a
few simple measures. That said, tunnel project monitoring/
tunnel control systems’ stakeholders need to also be aware
of zero-day vulnerabilities. Especially in the case of tunnel
operations, the consequences of a compromise can be
large enough to justify a significant, focused, organized
effort in attacking this critical infrastructure. Zero-day
vulnerabilities are vulnerabilities unknown to those who
would be interested in remediating or mitigating the
vulnerability (including the vendor of the target software).
The fewer the days since day zero, the higher the chance
no fix or mitigation has been developed. Even after a fix
is developed, the fewer the days since day zero, the higher
the probability that an attack against the afflicted device or
software will be successful, because not every user of that
device or software will have applied the fix. For zero-day
exploits, the probability that a user has patched their bugs
is of course zero, so the exploit should always succeed.
Based on research conducted by the Rand Corp. (Ablon,
2017), once an exploitable vulnerability has been found,
the time to develop a fully functioning exploit is relatively
fast, with a median time of 22 days. Additionally, a recent
Trend Micro TrendLabs research paper presents that
“the average time between disclosing a bug to a SCADA
vendor to releasing a patch reaches up to 150 days.”
Therefore, tunnel project managers and operators are
faced with the fact that it is most likely that an exploit will
be circulated significantly before a patch is available from
the vendor. The hard-to-patch nature of many of these
fielded assets further amplify this challenge.
Other approaches to gaining an understanding of
vulnerabilities associated with tunnel project monitoring/
tunnel control systems components include exploring
Shodan and obtaining a better understanding of how
adversaries operate. Shodan (https://www.shodan.io/) is a
search engine for internet connected devices. As opposed
to a search engine like Google that scans webpages,
Shodan scans the internet for connected devices and
collects data from banners, which are metadata about a
software that’s running on a device. Shodan collects and
indexes data from connected devices that include ICS and
SCADA components, IP-enabled cameras, refrigerators
and traffic signals. One way of obtaining a better
understanding of how adversaries operate is to explore the
MITRE Corp.’s Common Attach Pattern Enumeration
and Classification (CAPEC) community resource for
identifying and understanding attacks located at https://
capec.mitre.org. CAPEC is a comprehensive dictionary
and classification taxonomy of known attacks that can be
used to increase awareness of vulnerabilities within tunnel
project monitoring/tunnel control systems and enhance
defenses.
Remediation/mitigation strategies and best
practices
The foundation for remediating or mitigating
tunnel project monitoring/tunnel control systems’
cyber vulnerabilities is a comprehensive and accurate
identification of system components including devices,
operating systems, applications and communications and
how they are interconnected. Once these components
are identified, known vulnerabilities associated with each
component can be retrieved from open sources mentioned
earlier, including ICS-CERT advisories (ics-cert.us-cert.
gov), NIST’s NVD (nvd.nist.gov) and SCADA Strangelove
(scadastrangelove.blogspot.com) and the vendors
themselves.
From that point, threat vectors that identify where
an attacker may come from need to be explored. Threat
vectors can include direct access, wireless, virtual private
network (VPN) connections, other network connections
and computers with dual NIC cards. In considering threat
vectors, think like adversary and assume connectivity.
In considering priorities for protecting tunnel project
monitoring/tunnel control systems infrastructure, it is
helpful to consider two important concepts. The first is that
knowledge of the process is essential for high-consequence
disruption.
The second is that an attacker can generally have one
of four effects on a compromised system component to
achieve their overall objective data exfiltration, denial of
service, establish a platform for lateral movement and to
generate misleading information to operators or other
systems/components. Application of the first concept
in tunneling means to put a high priority on protecting
control room and HMI components.
Application of the second concept provides for
assigning a lower priority for concern about a denial-of-
service attack to a sensor collecting data. Typically safety
hazards associated with this scenario have already been
addressed in the design of the system. Also, the exfiltration
of data from sensors (with the exception of configuration
information that can be used to further enumerate the
target system) is typically another low priority concern
whereas causing a sensor to generate valid, but misleading,
information or as a platform (trusted within the target
system) to access other systems/components is typically a
significant concern.

Once there is a good grasp of the infrastructure’s
components, connectivity, known vulnerabilities and threat
vectors contractors and operators can begin to see their
exposure and make informed choices to methodically
improve their security posture.
The fact that most cyber security breaches are based on
known vulnerabilities is clearly evident in this article and
is readily supported through additional research. Based on
this knowledge some reasonably simple, low-cost activities
can be started that would have a significant effect on
the security posture of tunnel project monitoring/tunnel
control systems.
• Increase and reinforce general cyber security
awareness among all stakeholders and users
(remember that email phishing is a significant
attack vector).
• Within IT organizations, increase awareness of
the unique and different characteristics of tunnel
project monitoring/tunnel control systems with
respect to traditional IT systems.
• Be relentless implementing and enforcing strong
password policies. See new standards for password
security in NIST SP 800-63 Digital Identity
Guidelines (https://pages.nist.gov/800-63-3) and
use two-factor authentication wherever possible.
• Be sure you know accurately your assets:
How they are connected (logical and physical
topologies) and how they are configured with
respect to access control, protocols enabled and
connectivity permissions – white-list versus black-
list.
• Remediate known vulnerabilities to the extent
possible, mitigate the remaining vulnerabilities
including email.
• Assess cyber security impacts when any change is
made to the system and periodically review and
document security posture.
• Become familiar with and constantly monitor
best practices guidelines and resources from
organizations such as NIST (https://www.nist.gov/
cyberframework) and DHS ICS-CERT (ics-cert.
us-cert.gov).
• Be prepared for when an incident occurs.
From these foundational efforts, organizations should
also establish a closed-loop systems approach to cyber
security that includes policy, risk management, assurance
(evaluating continued effectiveness, identifying new
risks/vulnerabilities) and security culture (awareness).
Organizations typically find NIST’s cybersecurity
framework core a valuable foundation. NIST’s framework
core consists of five concurrent and continuous functions
— identify, protect, detect, respond and recover. NIST’s
cybersecurity framework website, https://www.nist.gov/
cybersecurity-framework, offers a vast amount of useful

the guidance included in NIST 800-82, Guide to Industrial
Control Systems (ICS) Security extends the foundation for
organizations focused on tunnel project monitoring/tunnel
control systems.
Suggested additional specific activities under this
approach include:
• Getting a free assessment from ICS-CERT.
• Downloading the free Cyber Security Evaluation
Tool (CSET) from ICS-CERT. CSET is a
systematic and repeatable approach to assessing
security posture that includes both high-level and
detailed questions related to all industrial control
and IT systems.
• Minimizing the systems’ attack surface.
• Establishing a process for continuous diagnostics
and mitigation (www.dhs.gov/cdm)/
• Periodically, exploring emerging alternative
approaches for analyzing and securing systems and
used by other critical infrastructure domains, DoD
and the intelligence community. Examples of
these include employing data diodes to assure one-
way information transfer and restricting network
access and connections between allowed elements
through the use of software defined perimeters.
• Consider collaborating with other tunnel operators
to establish a formal or informal Information
Sharing and Analysis Center (ISAC). ISACs in
other sectors are trusted entities that collect,
analyze and disseminate actionable threat
information to their members and provide
members with tools to mitigate risks and enhance
resiliency.
Conclusion
Tunnel project monitoring and tunnel control systems
are increasing safety and efficiency at a dramatic pace.
These systems are rapidly becoming more complex
and integrated with other systems and stakeholders. To
economically and rapidly develop components of these
systems, vendors are employing commercial off-the-
shelf components and resources that include operating
systems, applications, network protocols and devices.
These components often carry with them cyber security
vulnerabilities as awareness of the security and safety
consequences of compromise is only recently being
recognized.
Further, there are accelerating efforts from
individuals and organizations with malicious intent to
exploit vulnerabilities in these systems to achieve their
objectives. Defensively, there is a gap in the availability
of cybersecurity professionals with experience protecting
traditional IT assets. This gap is exacerbated by the unique
and distinctive nature of the ICS/SCADA components thst
make up a significant part of tunnel project monitoring
and tunnel control systems. Further amplifying the
challenge is that most of the tunnel project monitoring
 tuc
&

and tunnel control systems are installed and maintained nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2015-6480

by operators and owners with staff distinct from these
organizations’ IT support staff.
While a formidable challenge, risk to tunnel project
managers and operators associated with hazards created
by known and unknown cyber security vulnerabilities can
be considerably and cost-effectively reduced. Significant
risk reduction can be realized from a few simple, low-cost,
quick-to-implement actions as presented in this paper.
Furthermore, there are a growing number of resources
available to tunnel stakeholders to provide guidance and
resources to help further reduce risk.
All that said, however, tunnels are part of the
transportation systems critical infrastructure sector, one
of 16 critical infrastructure sectors whose assets, systems,
and networks, whether physical or virtual, are considered
so vital to the United States that their incapacitation or
destruction would have a debilitating effect on security,
national economic security, national public health or
safety. It is likely they are specifically targeted by well-
educated, well-funded resources with malicious intent.
Defenders need to be right all the time, attackers only
once. Therefore, in spite of valuable risk reduction efforts,
incidents are inevitable. An incident response plan that
facilitates rapid recovery is essential. n

conceptual design for improvements
to mitigate surcharge flooding in the Central
City Storm Water Tunnel System (CCSTS). As
a part of the project, CDM Smith conducted
a field survey and condition assessment of the
existing tunnel system. Information from the
survey was then used to update the existing
XPSWMM model and develop system wide
alternatives.
The CCSTS provides storm-water runoff
drainage for nearly the entire area of the
city’s downtown commercial district. The
system consists of deep storm-water tunnels
constructed in the St. Peter Sandstone,
approximately 21 m (70 ft) below the street’s

2.4-m (8-ft) diameter circular brick structure. The outfall
structure, below the convergence of the Central City and
Chicago tunnels, has unique cross-section configurations:
a mushroom shape at the convergence that transitions
to a cathedral shape for approximately 15.2-m (50-ft)
immediately upstream of the outfall structure at the
Mississippi River.
Pressurization of the Central City storm water tunnel
segments has been an ongoing issue for the city, leading to
repeated and expensive maintenance repairs. The existing
deep tunnel storm water system, was not designed for the
characteristics of drainage inflow that consist of an increase
in runoff volumes and shortened time-of-concentration
caused by increasing impervious surfaces in the downtown
commercial district. Pressurization of the tunnel during
large, intensive rainfall events has caused the liner to crack,
contributing to liner failure and erosion of the sandstone
immediately outside of the tunnel liner at multiple
locations. The maintenance and repair process, typically,
requires identifying the void locations caused by erosion,
filling the voids with grout, and repairing the cracks that led
to the creation of these voids.
Geological setting
The general subsurface geological profile in the
drainage system area is very consistent as shown on the
available tunnel plat drawings. This general geological
profile consists of:
• Overburden — sand, gravel, boulders and, in some
locations, a thin layer of clay below the granular
material.
• Weathered rock — described differently on profiles
Unearth
ranging from hardpan and boulders to broken

limestone.
• Rock — predominately a 4.6 to 12.2 m (15 to 40
ft) thick stratum of limestone that serves as a cap
rock to a very thin soapstone, overlying St. Peter
Sandstone.
Ground water was not identified on the plat sheets.
However, during recent work on the Nicollet Mall project,
which is within the drainage area of this project area, CDM
Smith drilled borings to a depth of 12.2 m (40 ft) without
encountering any ground water.
The CCSTS is located entirely within the St. Peter
Sandstone. This rock is unique in that it is composed of
very uniform sand size grains that are 99 percent quartz.
The rock strength is developed from compressive loads
and it exhibits almost no cohesion. The sandstone becomes
harder and denser with depth. The rock is also very friable.
Turbulent water in contact with fresh surface of sandstone
will cause a rapid disintegration of the rock.
The total unit weight of the rock as reported in existing
data is 21.2 kg/m3 ± 0.6 kg/m3 (135 pcf ±4 pcf) . Gradation,
sieve, analyses of the sandstone indicate that approximately
90 percent of the sand grains are between 140 and 60 sieve
sizes (ASTM). This is indicative of a fine sand. Porosity of
the rock averages 0.28. Unconfined compressive strength
testing of 11 samples ranged from 4.7 MPa to 19.4 MPa
(680 psi to 2,810 psi) with an average strength of 10.8
MPa (1,570 psi). Published friction angles of the St. Peter
Sandstone typically range from 54° to 65°.
Hydraulic modeling
The purpose of the hydraulic modeling analysis was to
determine the extent of improvements to the Washington
Avenue leg of the Central City storm water tunnel in
preparation for a capital improvement project that the city
has scheduled for construction starting in 2020. As part of
this analysis, the XPSWMM model was used to determine
the equivalent hydraulic diameter needed to provide
additional hydraulic capacity for the CCSTS to prevent
pressurization of tunnel during a design rainfall event.
To determine whether the observed pressure surcharge
in each tunnel leg was a product of downstream constraints
plus tail water, or an individual tunnel leg being constrained
within a segment of the tunnel, free discharge conditions
were created at the points where the Hennepin Avenue,
Nicollet Mall, Marquette Avenue, and 2nd Avenue tunnels
discharge into the Washington Avenue tunnel. Each leg was
analyzed using the 10-year, 100-year and 500-year design
storms to determine the level of service of each tunnel
leg discharged into the Washington Avenue tunnel. The
following describes the hydraulic capacity of each of these
tunnel segments when not influenced by the hydraulic
grade line (HGL) of the Washington Avenue storm water
tunnel:
• Hennepin Avenue: Hennepin Avenue operated
without surcharge for a 10-year design rainfall,
had negligible surcharge during a 100-year design
rainfall and had 1.5 to 3 m (5 to 10 ft) of surcharge
for a 500-year design rainfall.
• Nicollet Mall: Nicollet Avenue, including
contributing flows from the LaSalle Avenue tunnel,
had negligible surcharge during a 10-year design
rainfall and 6 to 15 m (20 to 50 ft) of surcharge
during a 100-year design rainfall.
• Marquette Avenue: The Marquette Avenue tunnel
conveyed the runoff from all rain events within
the crown of the pipe, including a 500-year design
rainfall.
• 2nd Avenue South: The 2nd Avenue South tunnel
surcharged as much as 9 m (30 ft) during a two-
year design rainfall and had significantly greater
surcharge during the larger design rainfall events.
The tunnel segments were recombined to assess
how the hydraulic conditions of Washington Avenue, in
combination with the known deficiencies in hydraulic
capacity of each tunnel leg, influenced the total flow. The
most significant changes occurred in the Hennepin Avenue
and Marquette Avenue legs of the system, changing from

no surcharge or negligible surcharge to surcharge in all
design rainfall events. However, the Chicago Avenue tunnel
and the converged Central City/Chicago Avenue outfalls
have sufficient capacity for all modeled rainfall events.
The hydraulic analysis indicates the need for hydraulic
improvements to Washington Avenue, 2nd Avenue South
and Nicollet Mall tunnels. The Marquette Avenue and
Hennepin Avenue tunnel legs will have improved hydraulic
performance after improvement of the Washington Avenue
tunnel segment, and therefore does not need further
analysis. The proposed 2020 construction will focus on
improvements to the Washington Avenue tunnel segment.
Preliminary design alternatives
Initial increased conveyance capacity alternatives were
developed for the Nicollet Avenue, 2nd Avenue South
and Washington Avenue tunnel segments found to have
insufficient hydraulic capacity to convey the runoff from a
design rain event. The existing condition XPSWMM model
was used to compute the equivalent circular cross-sectional
area for each hydraulic option. Cross-sectional areas for
10-year and 100-year rainfall events were developed to
establish the incremental cost differences for mitigating
system pressurization risks for the respective design rain
events. Based on the XPSWMM model results of these two
methods the following alternatives were developed.
Expanded tunnels. This alternative increases the size
of the existing tunnel cross-sectional area. The minimum
cross-section area of an equivalent circular tunnel was
computed for both the 10-year rainfall event (10.8 cm
or 4.27 in. of rainfall in 24 hours) and the 100-year
rainfall event (19 cm or 7.47 in.) of rainfall in 24 hours),
as estimated by NOAA Atlas 14, Volume 8. The actual
cross-sectional shape of an expanded tunnel will likely
24 june 2019 Tunneling  &  Underground Construction
not be circular, given the characteristics
of the engineering properties of the St.
Peter Sandstone, available headspace
between top of tunnel and top of St.
Peter Sandstone, and conflicts with the
Metropolitan Council Environmental
Services (MCES) interceptor. An in-
depth description of the shapes and
cross‑sectional areas considered is
presented in the construction alternative
section.
Parallel tunnels. This alternative
involves construction of a new parallel
tunnel adjacent to the existing tunnel.
The minimum cross-sectional area of a
circular parallel tunnel was computed for
both the 10-year design rain event and
the 100-year design rain event. A parallel
tunnel could either be circular or it could
be another shape if any of the constraints
described in the Tunnel Expansion option
are encountered. Tunnel sizes for the 10-year and the
100-year rainfall events are discussed in the construction
consideration section of this paper.
Final alternative. After the initial alternatives were
developed for the entire system, additional refinements
were made to the model to specifically address the
proposed 2020 project along the Washington Avenue
Tunnel alignment. For this section, a combined approach
was proposed that would construct a new parallel tunnel
east and west of Portland Avenue and expand portions of
the existing tunnel alignment along Portland Avenue and at
the junction with the Chicago Avenue tunnel system.
Geo-structural analyses
Concurrent with the hydraulic analysis, CDM Smith
completed a geo-structural evaluation of the existing tunnel
system with the goal of identifying and evaluating any risks
associated with enlarging tunnel cross-sections to increase
hydraulic capacity of the system and for repairing the
existing tunnel segments.
Existing tunnel analyses. To analyze the existing tunnel
system, Rocscience Phase 2 software program was utilized.
After review of the existing tunnel plats, five existing tunnel
configurations were identified for evaluation. The existing
tunnel materials were modeled using Mohr-Coulomb
failure criteria to account for the lack of reinforcing steel
and an inability to resist tensile stress. Therefore, the model
assumed that when a very low tensile stress was applied
to the liner failure of the tunnel liner would occur. The
analysis configurations consisted of the following:
• Profile analysis of the excavation of the storm
water drainage tunnel at locations where it

tunnel. This analysis was performed to evaluate No lining support.
the magnitude of change in stress on the existing
underlying sewer tunnel due to excavation above it.
• Cross-sectional analysis. An analysis of different
support types was performed using adjusted
rock strength values depending on the existing
liner support system, including no timber, light
timber and heavy timber support behind the
liner. The analysis consisted of applying a cyclical
internal pressure to the tunnel representing loads
experienced during a 100-year rainfall event, as
predicted by the XPSWMM existing conditions
model, developed by CDM Smith. The frequency
of the cyclical loading was based on a review of five
years of historic pressure data provided by the city.
During this five-year period, there were six events
that surcharged the tunnel at the pressure meters.
These surcharges ranged from 1.2 to 11.6 m (4 to
38 ft) above the tunnel crown. For the modeling,
we extrapolated this to 20 surcharge loadings, Fig.4
representing the occurrence of one surcharge Light timber support.
event every five years for a period of 100 years. The
applied internal pressure represented by the 100-
year rain-event is predicted to be 35 psi, (0.24 MPa)
or 24.6 m (80.7 ft) of water. This represents a factor
of slightly greater than twice the measured event.
Each of the three different existing liner conditions
and locations, were modeled as follows:
• No lining support. There are several locations
shown on the city’s tunnel plats where the
tunnel liner is shown as concrete placed against
the sandstone without initial support. Figure 3
represents a typical No Support segment. The
average rock strength parameters were used,
without strength reduction, since there is no initial
liner support. It was assumed that the St. Peter
Sandstone at these locations was in good condition,
with few joints or loose materials and a strength Fig.5
reduction was not applied to the model. Heavy timber support.
• Light timber support. At locations where light
timber support was identified, the drainage tunnel
is approximately 1.6-m (6-ft) high by 1.6-m (6-
ft) wide. A light wood support encompasses the
upper portion of the tunnel from springline to
crown and back to the springline in a trapezoidal
configuration. It was assumed that the ribs were
used in locations where the rock quality exhibited
some joints or fractures, requiring some additional
initial support. To account for this condition,
the model used a reduced rock strength of the
intact rock. It is assumed that the timber supports
provides a seepage path for ground water outside
the tunnel and leakage through the tunnel to cause
erosion of the sandstone. This results in a source
of sand to migrate through cracks in the lining
and creates an ongoing process of deterioration

&
of lining support by creating progressively larger
areas of unsupported lining.
• Heavy timber support. Heavy timber support
locations consist of wood ribs that fully surround
the tunnel perimeter with wood lagging. Heavy
timber supports were used where the rock quality
was significantly poorer than at other segments of
the tunnel, requiring this stronger initial support.
To account for this condition, the model used the
reduced rock strength of the intact rock. The same
process of loss of strength of the initial support
system was used to model the behavior of the
tunnel as a function of time and cyclical loads.
• Reduction in liner strength. The purpose of a
reduction in strength model was to account for
degradation of the underlying timber supporting
the tunnel liner related to the environmental cycles
of wet and dry conditions. As the wood shrinks in
volume and decreases in strength, deformation
of the sandstone would follow with each cyclical
loading due to a storm event. This loss of external
support originally provided by the sandstone,
causes a tensile loading on the unreinforced
segments of the concrete liner. The tensile loading
results in liner cracks. This creates a pathway for
seepage of ground water from outside the tunnel
liner during non-storm events, and leakage into
the sandstone during a pressurized storm event to
cause erosion of the sandstone. The resulting sand
migration through liner cracks likely results in an
ongoing process of cracking of liner by creating
increasing areas of unsupported lining over time.
To account for this long-term reduction in liner
strength, it was assumed that the timber strength
reduced by 5 percent between each cyclical loading
event.
• Concrete liner loading. This model provided an
assessment of the liner after each loading event was
conducted. Providing there was continuous rock
support against the liner, deformations were found
to be minimal. However, where joints were formed
due to shrinkage of the unreinforced concrete, the
measured cracks were of sufficient size to allow
passage of sand grains into the tunnel. This loss of
ground was modeled by assuming a void behind the
tunnel lining at each tunnel crack.
• Combined effects. To evaluate the locations where
several factors may increase the loads, an analysis
was performed taking into account a combined
effect of nearby sanitary sewers, the weakened
condition of the tunnel lining, and disturbance to
the rock.
Expansion of the tunnel system
In addition to performing an analysis of the existing
tunnel, CDM Smith performed a similar analysis on the
proposed parallel and expanded tunnel configurations.
26 june 2019 Tunneling  &  Underground Construction
During the analysis, two constraints were identified for the
proposed tunnel expansion.
A review of the relationship between the existing
tunnel and the caprock above the tunnel, as drawn on
the tunnel plats, showed that several tunnel segments are
close to the caprock and have limited space available for
vertical tunnel expansion without penetrating the caprock.
According to the historical data, tunnels excavations, at
elevations above the limestone caprock, are significantly
more challenging to support and are double to triple the
construction cost than if the excavations were below the
caprock. Therefore, primarily horizontal tunnel expansion,
with limited vertical expansion, was evaluated. To maintain
a gravity system, lowering the invert for expansion was
eliminated from consideration.
Additionally, there are several adjacent sanitary and
storm drain tunnels that either share a wall or are very
close to one another. Because of these adjacent tunnels, it
was concluded that the storm tunnel cannot be lowered,
or substantially re-aligned due to the conflicts created by
these nearby, and crossing, sanitary tunnels. Therefore,
the adjacent tunnel expansion analysis only evaluated
the option to increase the cross-sectional area of selected
tunnels along their existing alignment to increase the
hydraulic capacity of the storm water tunnel system.
For expansion of the existing tunnel two possible
configurations were identified and evaluated. The
configurations consisted of the following:
• Excavation within the existing tunnel. The increase
in the tunnel cross-section would be constructed
using sequential excavation method to reduce
excessive stresses on the lining left in place.
CDM Smith assumed a sequential excavation on
both sides of the existing tunnel would require
a minimum width of 2.4 m (8 ft) for equipment
access. The excavation width would likely result in
a flat roof that would not be stable as a function of
the sandstone structure. However, the sandstone
could be made stable with rock bolts fully anchored
into the overlying limestone rock.
• Excavation adjacent to the existing tunnel. To
evaluate this condition, sequential excavation of
tunnel adjacent to the existing tunnel to a width of
2.4 m (8 ft) was assumed. Additionally, assuming a
relatively flat excavation roof this excavation can
be made stable with rock bolts anchored into the
limestone.
Results
System rehabilitation. The Phase 2 model results
indicate that the existing tunnel structures are stable where
the tunnel liner is in contact with the St. Peter Sandstone.
However, accumulations of sand can be an indication of
eroded sandstone behind the liner, causing additional
stress on the liner. It is assumed that the reason for these
deposits is the combination of deterioration of the wood
 tuc&
supports and the natural behavior of the friable sandstone
that causes the fine sand to erode as the ground water
moves along the outside of the tunnel liner. The basis
for this assumption is that the tunnel liner consists of
unreinforced concrete that ranges in thickness from 178
to 350 mm (7 to 12 in.), based on the details shown on the
tunnel plats provided by the city. There is no indication
of expansion joints being installed in any of the tunnels.
Inspections of the tunnels indicated that spacing of vertical
cracks and transverse cracks averaged about 17.4 m (57
ft) apart, measured along the tunnel axis. Considering that
90 percent of the sandstone grain size is fine sand and
can pass through about 90 percent of the observed cracks,
the possibility of sand grains migrating and, thus, creating
void spaces, as shown in the analyses, self‑perpetuates the
deterioration of the tunnel lining as a function of surcharge
loading. Based on the Phase 2 analysis, an increase in
cracking frequency and crack width should be anticipated
in locations where poor rock conditions or timber supports
are present. This is supported by the locations where
cracking was observed in the inspection data.
Some rehabilitation of the existing tunnel system is
required in the form of repairing the cracks and filling any
voids that are present behind the lining to stop further
long-term deterioration of the liner. Determination of
the locations and approximate volume of voids behind
the liner could be conducted by an extensive geophysical
survey from inside the tunnels. The results of such a survey
would then be used to develop a program for repairs to the
tunnel. This rehabilitation operation would mitigate the
risk of failure for the existing tunnel system. However, it
would not provide any increase in the hydraulic capacity of
the tunnel. Therefore, the tunnel would still be subject to
surcharge and street flooding.
System expansion. The modeling performed indicates
that, where there is adequate sandstone cover, the tunnel
can be enlarged laterally requiring minimal vertical
expansion to create a stable shape. To maintain stability
of the existing tunnel, which must remain in use during
construction, external braces to support the tunnel liner
would be required. Rock anchors and a new shotcrete
liner would be required for tunnel support. Depending
on the increased size of the tunnel, excavation can be
performed either by a hydraulic lance or a roadheader.
These excavation procedures will be discussed in greater
detail later.
As the tunnels advance closer to the river and maintain
their gravity slope, the sandstone thickness above the
tunnel crown increases and there is adequate sandstone
cover to expand the tunnel upward and maintain a
cathedral shape for stability purposes. This expansion
should be limited in height to maintain about 0.7 m (2
ft) of sandstone above the crown of the expanded tunnel
cross-section. A first estimate of the cathedral shape can be
calculated based on the friction angle of the sandstone. The
height above the springline of the tunnel is about the sum
of half the existing tunnel width plus the proposed increase
in the width divided by tangent of the friction angle divided
by two.
The advantage of a vertical expansion in the sandstone
is that it eliminates the need for the rock anchors.
There are relatively short segments of the existing
tunnels that are shown to have heavy timber support. Our
interpretation of using this initial support system is that the
rock is in poor condition relative to the other sandstone
encountered in the CCSTS. These areas may require some
additional ground modification such as grouting or using
a welded wire mesh to prevent fall out of rock during the
excavation for the tunnel expansion.
Proposed tunnel construction
As previously stated, construction of the Washington
Avenue portion of this project is anticipated to begin in
2020. The preliminary alignment consists of both a parallel
tunnel and some portions of the alignment where the
existing tunnel will be expanded to meet the hydraulic
capacity requirements. The required hydraulic capacity of
the parallel tunnels would range in size from the equivalent
of a 2- to 3.6-m (6.5- to 12-ft) internal diameter circular
tunnel. The changes in the proposed size of the parallel
tunnel, need to maintain flow in the existing tunnel and
location of several cross passages greatly increase the
complexity of the proposed construction. The following
tunneling methods were considered for construction of a
parallel tunnel:
• Hydraulic lance. The original tunnel construction
used hand-held lances that emit highly pressurized
streams of water that cut through the sandstone.
The benefits of the approach are the ability to
excavate in small spaces and to create noncircular
shapes. The disadvantages include slower pace
of excavation and limited number of contractors
having experience with the hydraulic lance.
Hydraulic lances are advantageous as a secondary
method used for areas, such as transition structures,
that will have a unique shape that cannot be
created by a boring machine.
• Tunnel boring machine (TBM). Advantages include
large boring face and efficient boring speed.
Disadvantages include need for large -diameter
access shaft, longer time to set up and inability to
maneuver machine through tight radius curves.
• Road header machine. Advantages include smaller
area needed for equipment installation, and
ability to maneuver into non-circular shapes and
non straight alignments. Disadvantages include
slow rate of advancement and the need for more

personnel in the tunnel.
The hydraulic lance method has not been used for
several years in the Minneapolis area and finding labor
and equipment using this method can be a limitation
for this method. Generally, a TBM is a more economical
method of tunnel excavation given the proposed length of
approximately 1,066 m (3,500 ft). However, the alignment
requires three 90° turns where new shafts would be
required. The tunnel alignment also would be required
to cross six lateral connection tunnels. An additional
limitation for excavating the tunnel with a TBM is that
the tunnel diameter is set by the machine. The required
hydraulic capacity reduces to the west and therefore a TBM
would perform unnecessary excavation.
The use of a roadheader also has limitations. These
limitations are based on the size of the machine versus the
excavation size. Roadheader power and ability to cut rock
is a function of the machine size. To excavate a tunnel that
is only about 2.4 m (8 ft) in height and of the rock strength
presented in the modeling report a small machine will
be sufficient. A hydraulic roadheader is able to excavate
the rock into any cross-sectional shape that has been
determined to be the most stable, creating tunnels that are
able to obtain the required equivalent hydraulic capacity as
it changes along the alignment. The other advantages are: it
can make very short radius turns that would eliminate the
need for a shaft extending to the street.
Use of the road header also allows for construction of a
non circular tunnel and is particularly apt for constructing
a tunnel with a non circular (cathedral or other) shape that
28 june 2019 Tunneling  &  Underground Construction
takes advantage of the properties of the St. Peter Sandstone.
The disadvantages to the roadheader are that the shape is
not circular. Because of the high quartz content tool wear
can be expected to lead to higher tool wear/replacement
and advancement rate is less than that of a TBM.
Conclusion
Final design, construction and rehabilitation of the
Central City Tunnel system will face many challenges:
Contractor will be required to maintain the existing flow
in the tunnel; Project is located within a densely populated
urban setting with a myriad of shallow utilities, heavy-
volume traffic streets making it difficult to locate shafts
and staging areas; Unique engineering properties of the St.
Peter Sandstone present their own challenges where the
ground behavior can be unpredictable during construction.
However, the expanded tunnel system will greatly improve
the performance of the tunnel system; reduce surface
flooding and annual maintenance cost. n

Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District’s (MSD)
CSO control system improvements planned to
meet consent decree requirements for MSD’s
Lemay Service Area. The 13.7-km (8.5-mile)
long, deep, hard rock tunnel will have a finished
diameter of 9.1 m (30 ft). Beginning at the
Lemay Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP),
the alignment follows the channelized River
Des Peres to the outfall of the existing Forest
Park tubes, as indicated in Fig. 1.
The project includes three construction
shafts, 34 intakes and a deep, cavern-style
pump station located adjacent to the WWTP.
The tunnel will be driven from the Defense
Mapping shaft to the Macklind shaft. Another
shaft is located near the midpoint at the tunnel
in River Des Peres Park.
The Forest Park intake, located at the
upstream end of the tunnel just beyond the
Macklind shaft, is a large, tangential vortex
intake structure. With a peak flow rate of 170
m3/s (6,000 cfs), it will have a 6.1-m (20-ft)
diameter dropshaft to transfer flow into the
tunnel.
The project includes another three large
tangential vortex-flow intake structures
with peak flow rates ranging from 28 to 44.5

and the rolling upland located in the central and northern
portions of the county. The uplands are characterized by
a relatively thin veneer of silty and clayey soils overlying
bedrock.
Bedrock in the region is comprised of horizontally
stratified limestone with some dolomite and a few thin
shale layers. The rock is generally intact but at tunnel
depth can be slabby in the crown, where it breaks along
bedding planes. The stratified nature of the rock will inhibit
the downward movement of ground water, except along
faults. Some of the limestone layers are very strong, with
unconfined compressive strength (UCS) in excess of 200
MPa (30 ksi).
A large fault system crosses the tunnel alignment,
Fig.3

as shown on Fig. 2. This fault zone contains a number of
high-angle faults with both normal and reverse movement
and up to 12 m (40 ft) of vertical offset. Some of the faults
contain several feet of gouge, along with zones of highly
fractured rock and rotated blocks. Deep weathering and
hydrothermal mineralization are present in some areas.
Shafts
Each of the three construction shafts are designed for
an internal diameter of 13.7 m (45 ft).
At the Defense Mapping site, the 22-m (73-ft) thick
soil zone consists of fill overlying alluvium. The alluvium
is potentially contaminated due to prior usage of the
site. Concrete diaphragm walls are required for support
of excavation, in order to restrict the flow of potentially
contaminated ground water, in compliance with restrictions
imposed by an environmental covenant. Additionally,
pre-excavation grouting of the upper section of bedrock
is required prior to concrete diaphragm wall construction.
This approach was determined to be the best method for
limiting the movement of contaminated ground water into
the shaft.
At the River Des Peres Park shaft, the 7.3-m (24-ft)
thick soil zone consists of fill overlying alluvium, which
is required to be pre-supported with sheet piles. At the
Macklind shaft, the 11-m (36-ft) thick soil zone consists
of fill and weathered shale, which can be supported
concurrently with excavation using liner plates or ring
beams with timber lagging.
At each shaft, the underlying rock will be supported
with rock dowels, welded wire mesh and shotcrete.
Tunnel boring machine (TBM) tunnel
The tunnel boring machine (TBM) tunnel
will be excavated with a single TBM beginning at
the Defense Mapping shaft and terminating at
the Macklind shaft. Near its mid-point, the River
Des Peres Park shaft can be used for major TBM
maintenance, if needed.
All muck from the TBM tunnel will be
removed through the launch shaft. The first
230,000 m3 (300,000 cu yd) of muck will be used
to fill the site for future construction of the
dewatering pump station and enhanced high rate
treatment facility. Prior to construction of the
LMRDP Tunnel, the general area around the shaft
and the dewatering pump station will be raised
above current grade with processed shot rock and
tunnel muck from the adjacent Jefferson Barracks
Tunnel. Construction of the Jefferson Barracks
Tunnel began in March 2017.
The rock in the tunnel has been grouped
into three types according to expected behavior
related to support needs and potential difficulty of
advancing the excavation due to stability issues.
• Type A ground needs light-to-minimal
 tuc&

support with the focus on controlling overstress
failure in the crown area and isolated wedges. Type
A ground typically correlates to Rock mass rating
(RMR) values greater than 60.
• Type B ground needs substantial support but
can hold pattern rock dowels. The ground tends
to be blocky such that progressive raveling can
occur, if the ground is inadequately supported.
Thinly bedded strata under high horizontal stress
conditions can produce Type B ground. Another
cause of Type B ground is the presence of multiple
intersecting joint sets. Type B ground typically
correlates to RMR values between 60 and 40.
• Type C ground does not hold rock dowels well
because of gouge, weathered seams, voids or
tendency of the rock to deteriorate.
Figure 3 shows the initial support requirements for
each of the three ground types in the TBM tunnel. Based
on analysis, 80 percent of the tunnel is expected to require
Type A support, while 18 percent will require Type B
support, and 2 percent will require Type C support.
The large fault system crosses the TBM tunnel in the
vicinity of Interstate 55, as indicated in Fig. 2. The tunnel
has been routed around the worst part of this area, but
still runs along the edge of it. Probing and pre-excavation
grouting will be used during excavation to reduce the
potential for ground and ground water inflow problems in
the I-55 fault zone.
Ground water inflow into the excavated tunnel is
expected to be around 900 Lpm (500 gpm), assuming
the pre-excavation grouting program in the fault zone is
properly completed.
cavern and shafts will be excavated in benches to bottom.
Initial ground support in the cavern crown consists of 5.8-
m (19-ft) long, high-capacity, tensioned rock bolts at 1.5 m
(5 ft) spacing and split-spaced 3.7-m (12-ft) long rock bolts
around the center section of the cavern crown and welded
wire mesh (Fig. 5). High-capacity, 5.5-m (18-ft) long,
grouted rock dowels and welded wire mesh will be used
for supporting the cavern sidewalls.
The cavern sidewalls are anticipated to move
inward up to about 25 mm (1 in.) on each side due to
high horizontal stresses, based on FLAC 3D/UDEC
numerical modeling. Over-stressing is expected in the
ground immediately above the cavern crown. Ground
displacements will be monitored during excavation and
will include several multipoint borehole extensometers
installed from the surface and terminating just above the
cavern crown.
Forest Park intake
The Forest Park intake is one of the largest tangential
vortex intake structures ever designed. The intake will
transfer flow from the existing Forest Park tubes down
to tunnel elevation. The existing tubes are a pair of 8.8-m
(29-ft) horseshoe-shaped tunnels that were constructed by
cut-and-cover in the early 1900s, as well as a 4.9-m (16-ft)
horseshoe-shaped tunnel. Downstream of the tubes, the
River Des Peres has been channelized.
The Forest Park intake includes a diversion structure
located in the channel of the River Des Peres. From the
diversion structure, flow drops and enters an approach
channel and inlet structure. The inlet structure is a
tangential vortex that directs flow to a dropshaft. At
the base of the dropshaft is a large deaeration chamber,

ft) diameter south access shaft and a 46 m (150
ft) long by 18 m (58 ft) wide by 26 m (84 ft) high
cavern, as illustrated in Fig. 4. The cavern and
access shafts are located adjacent to the Defense
Mapping shaft.
Because of the environmental covenant, the
soil zone at the north and south access shafts
will require concrete diaphragm walls for initial
support. Support of the underlying rock will be
through the use of rock dowels, welded wire
mesh and shotcrete.
At cavern depth, ground conditions consist
of alternating limestone and dolomite layers with
occasional thin shale layers. A thinly bedded,
relatively weak limestone layer, several feet thick,
is present about 3 m (10 ft) above the crown of
the tunnel.
The cavern will be excavated by drilling and
blasting a top heading from the shafts toward
the center of the cavern. The remainder of the

located immediately upstream of the Macklind Shaft.
Figure 6 shows the general arrangement of the Forest Park
intake.
The hydraulic performance of the Forest Park intake
was initially modeled using computational fluid dynamics
(CFD) to confirm that it could convey the peak design
inflow. CFD modeling was followed by construction
of a 1/16 scale physical model to further evaluate the
hydraulic characteristics and determine final dimensions
and configuration. Construction of the inlet structure and
approach channel will require excavating a deep slot, up to
about 30 m (100 ft) below grade in the south slope of the
River Des Peres channel. Initial ground support will consist
of secant piles in the soil zone and a combination of rock
dowels, welded wire mesh and shotcrete in the bedrock.
Other facilities
The project includes almost 3,400 m (11,000 ft) of drill-
and-blast tunnels and deaeration chambers to connect
dropshafts to the TBM tunnel. About half of this length will
be intake tunnels having a minimum excavated diameter
sufficient to install 1.8-m (6-ft) diameter fiberglass pipe. The
remainder of the deaeration chambers and larger diameter
Glaise Creek, Rock Creek and Wherry Creek tunnels will
be lined with cast-in-place concrete. Initial support systems
for the drill and blast tunnels and deaeration chambers
consist of rock dowels, welded wire mesh and shotcrete in
Type A and B ground and steel ribs in Type C ground.
A 6.1-m (20-ft) diameter emergency overflow shaft will
be located near the downstream end of the TBM Tunnel.
Although each of the intakes is equipped with slide or
32 june 2019 Tunneling  &  Underground Construction
roller gates that can be closed when complete filling of the
tunnel is expected, an emergency overflow is included in
the system in case of gate failure. Of particular concern are
the gates at the Forest Park intake and the other three large
intakes, which contribute the majority of the inflow.
The dropshafts and vent shafts for all except the largest
intakes will be excavated using either raise boring or blind
boring techniques. The choice of construction technique
will be left to the contractor. The dropshaft for the Forest
Park intake is expected to be blasted before lining with
concrete. The main ventilation shafts on the TBM Tunnel
alignment, located at the River Des Peres Park shaft and
Macklind shaft, will also be blasted and lined with concrete.
Construction schedule and cost estimate
Construction of the LMRDP Tunnel is expected to
take about six and a half years. The contractor will begin
construction at the Defense Mapping site, sinking not only
the launch shaft, but also the north and south access shafts
for the pump station cavern. Shot rock and tunnel muck
will be processed and placed on the site to complete its
filling.
Excavation of the TBM Tunnel and the cavern can
take place simultaneously. At the three-year mark, the
tunnel contractor will demobilize from a portion of the
site to allow the pump station contractor to begin work.
By this point, TBM excavation is expected to be complete
and the tunnel contractor will have demobilized his muck
processing equipment from the site. The pump station
contractor will begin with lining the cavern and its two
access shafts.
After 54 months, the tunnel contractor must completely
vacate the site to allow the pump station contractor to
install screening equipment in the launch shaft and to
complete build-out. By this point, concrete lining of the
section of tunnel extending from the Defense Mapping
shaft to the River Des Peres Park shaft is expected to
be complete. The tunnel contractor will move his tunnel
construction water pumping station up to the emergency
overflow shaft, and lining of the section of tunnel upstream
of the River Des Peres Park shaft can take place.
The final six months of the schedule is used for intake
activation. This work must be coordinated with the pump
station contractor and the waste water treatment plant
operator. In cooperation with and at the direction of
both the pump station contractor and MSD, the tunnel
contractor will activate each of the individual intakes.
The Opinion of Probable Construction Cost, prepared
at the 95 percent design stage in mid-2017, totaled $585
million in current dollars. Of that cost, roughly $48 million
was carried as contingency.

very two years, industry lead-
ers and practitioners from
around the world gather at
the Rapid Excavation and Tunneling
Conference (RETC), the authorita-
tive program for the tunneling profes-
sion, to learn about the most recent
advances and breakthroughs in this
unique field. The information pre-
sented helps professionals keep pace
with the ever-changing and growing
tunneling industry. This book includes

drafting and implementation of con-
tract provisions. It provided improve-
ments to underground contracting
practices during all project stages, and
clear roles and responsibilities for
project participants to promote better
contracts.
This second edition was under-
taken by the UCA of SME because
the industry has undergone numerous
changes over the last decade. Changes
in tunneling technology, more com-
mon use of design-build as a contract-
ing mechanism and the many lessons
learned have sparked some creative
contract approaches.
The recommendations contained
in this edition are intended to guide
owners and their engineers in devel-
oping and administering contracts and
to give contractors a better under-
standing of the rationale behind con-
tract provisions. The goal is that more
underground projects in this country
can be best projects, where improved
relationships and fair contracts enable
all project participants to personally
invest in cost-effective, profitable proj-
ects, ensuring the continued health of
the underground industry. n
at the 2019 conference and covers
such topics as contracting practices,
design and planning, geotechnical
considerations, hard-rock tunnel bor-
ing machines, new and innovative
technologies, pressure-face TBM case
histories, and tunneling for sustain-
ability. The papers will inform, chal-
lenge and stimulate each reader.
The proceedings includes chap-
ters on contracting practices and cost,
design and planning, design/build
projects, difficult ground, drill and
blast, environment, health, and safety,
future projects, geotechnical consid-
erations, ground support and final
lining, grouting and ground modifica-
tion, hard-rock TBMs, large-span tun-
nels and caverns, new and innovative
technologies, pressure face TBM case
histories, pressure face TBM technol-
ogy, SEM/NATM, shafts and mining

CSM Short Course

CSM offers tunneling short course

R
egistration is open for the
Colorado School of Mines’
(CSM) Tunneling Fundamen-
tals, Applications and Innovations
short course, Oct. 14-17, 2019. Last
year’s course sold out with more than
150 participants. View the full agenda
or reserve your spot by registering at
http://underground.mines.edu.
Tunneling is booming. Forecasts
show tremendous growth in tunnel
projects over the next decade — wa-
ter and wastewater, transportation,
energy, utilities and hyperloops, and
the CSM course is the way to boost
your knowledge.
The comprehensive four-day
agenda includes topics ranging from
planning to design to construction of
tunnels for all purposes and across all
types of ground conditions. Techni-
cal leaders from across the tunneling
industry will teach key principles and
the latest innovations. Numerous up-
coming U.S. and international tunnel-
ing projects will be highlighted. Five
owner-representatives will provide
insights into the industry, and CSM
faculty and students will share the
latest research and development in-
novations.
Offered by CSM’s Center for
Underground Construction and Tun-
neling, the tunneling short course
capitalizes on the state-of-the-art
labs and facilities at the school, giv-
ing attendees a unique opportunity
to interact with the most sophisti-
cated and innovative technologies
in the tunneling industry. Hands-on
labs and workshops each afternoon
offer knowledge through learning by
doing.
There will also be networking op-
portunities, industry-to-industry as
well as with the many students study-
ing to enter the industry. By learning
from and speaking with key firms,
contractors and engineers about the
biggest projects of our time, the goal
of the short course is for participants
to get a clear picture of where this
fast-paced and dynamic industry is
heading.
The Colorado School of Mines
Center for Underground Construc-
tion and Tunneling is a collaborative,
multi-disciplinary group of faculty
and students from the departments
of civil engineering, geology and
geological engineering, mechanical
engineering, mining engineering,
geophysics and computer science,
with a collective interest in educa-
tion and research in underground
engineering.
