Bored Tunnel Alternative Design-Build ProjectDesign-Build <strong>Construction</strong> <strong>Management</strong> ServicesSR 99Willamette River CSO ProgramPortland, ORPROJECT DETAILSClient Representative:City of Portland, Bureau ofEnvironmental ServicesTotal Dollar Amount:$1.2 billionContract Dates:9/02 - 2011Services Provided:QA/QC Inspection: (Tunnels, Shafts, Grouting) SpecialInspection: (Electrical, Mechanical, Structural)Engineering and CADD SupportPROJECT BACKGROUNDPart of a comprehensive $1.2 billion project to reduce sewer overflows, the Willamette River Combined Sewer Overflow(CSO) Program includes two large and technically challenging projects, the West Side CSO Project completed in 2006 andthe East Side CSO on schedule <strong>for</strong> 2011 completion. The project involved intercepting existing outfalls with 14 deep slurrywall shafts and 48,000 feet of 14- and 22-foot inside diameter tunnels mined 100 feet below groundwater in highly variablesoft soils using three slurry mix shield TBMs, the first used in the United States. The deep tunnels are lined with a one-passconcrete segmental lining. The tunnel alignments pass near or under several critical, sensitive structures, including five ofthe city’s major bridges. Deep ground improvement techniques were used to provide pre-support <strong>for</strong> these structures.Significant Challenges and/or InnovationsThe client, design team, construction manager, and contractor co-located and collaborated <strong>for</strong> nine months to develop thefinal design, cost estimates, TBM procurement, and work and safety plans. This process allowed the team to use technologiesnew to the United States including slurry TBMs, jet grouting to 320 feet, 200-foot deep slurry walls, and 120-foot deep rein<strong>for</strong>cedconcrete tremie plugs. Both contractors earned OR-OSHA VPP Star status in Oregon (two of only four contractors statewide).Roles of Major ParticipantsUnder the supervision of the <strong>Construction</strong> Manager, CMTS provided QA/QC inspection and engineering support <strong>for</strong> alldisciplines on the project. Key team members Greg Colzani and Jan Babendererde served as <strong>Construction</strong> Manager and TunnelEngineer on the project as well. Halcrow and Chris Smith provided segment design and fabrication contractor support.Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel ExpansionSeattle, WAPROJECT DETAILSClient Representative:Seattle Sound TransitTotal Dollar Amount:$95 millionContract Dates:2004- 2007Services Provided:Project <strong>Management</strong>, ConstructabilityPROJECT BACKGROUNDThe $95 million Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel Expansion project involved the expansion of the Seattle bus tunnel toallow conversion to dual-mode transportation, including bus and light rail. The project included the renovation of theexisting bus tunnel and upgrade of all mechanical and electrical systems.Significant Challenges and/or InnovationsThis project involved significant coordination between disciplines <strong>for</strong> a major underground project with restricted accessin the urban Seattle environment.Roles of Major ParticipantsThe VOSK Group provided project management support <strong>for</strong> the project. Vic Oblas served as Project Manager and providedconstructability, construction coordination, and commissioning support .17
