Bored Tunnel Alternative Design-Build ProjectDesign-Build <strong>Construction</strong> <strong>Management</strong> Services SR 99can be a key tool <strong>for</strong> optimizing per<strong>for</strong>mance and reducing risks. For example, on the Arrowhead Tunnels project, Shimiprovided detailed analysis of thrust, cutterhead rotation speed, and the penetration rate from TBM data to optimizeper<strong>for</strong>mance and reduce wear resulting in a key claim defense. As the CMconsultant, we will use our expertise in this field to ensure that sufficient andaccurate system records are collected, inspection data is recorded, and a highlevel of TBM and geotechnical analysis is per<strong>for</strong>med. The tunnel data managementsystem will use TBM data output to develop operational profiles to correlate withsettlement monitoring systems. Comparison and interpretation of data fromthese sources will be essential to maintaining optimum tunnel per<strong>for</strong>mance withrespect to production and control of settlement. Table E.4 provides representativeexamples of our methodology, acting as CM support to WSDOT, to manage theseand similar project risks.Table E.4 Risk CM Role - Design and Pre-construction CM Role - <strong>Construction</strong>TBM Wear• Failure of critical TBM components• Excessive wear of componentsGround loss• Loss of ground in the face, overmining, improper steering, andimproper or inadequate backfillgrouting of the annular spaceThe CM team must confirm that thedesign-builder:• Provides a robust design• Provides baseline operational parameters <strong>for</strong>all TBM functions• Provides the ability to monitor all critical TBMfunctionsThe CM team must confirm that thedesign-builder:• Properly designs the TBM• Provides adequate TBM operational andmonitoring work plansThe CM team must confirm that the design-builder:• Develops and implements an aggressive preventative maintenance program• Monitors and analyzes all TBM functions (torque, rotation, pressure balance,wear detectors, temperature, and current consumption to look <strong>for</strong> trends andanomalies not normally anticipatedThe CM team must confirm that the design-builder:• Monitors the TBM advance rate, discharge rate, volume, face/plenum pressure,and grouting volume• Analyzes that data <strong>for</strong> each shove correlates with settlement data• Conducts daily TBM per<strong>for</strong>mance and ground per<strong>for</strong>mance meetings; takesremedial or corrective actions, as necessary5Geotechnical Instrumentation <strong>for</strong> Monitoring Protection of Existing StructuresBenefits to WSDOT• Project staff has thorough project-specific knowledge ofgeotechnical conditions• Conducted extensive ground behavior and structure analysis<strong>for</strong> the entire SR 99 alignment• Nationally recognized tunnel behavior experts• Experts in local geologyOur team has modeled the predicted soilbehavior, and inspected and analyzed 157structures along the alignment. Our staffhas monitored structures <strong>for</strong> numeroustunnel projects including the Dulles AirportConnector, the Los Angeles Metro Rail Lineand WMATA.To help WSDOT manage the risks associated with ground per<strong>for</strong>mance monitoring and instrumentation optimization, the<strong>Parsons</strong> team has included Tony Stirbys and Dr. Ed Cording to supplement our tunnel CM experts. Tony is well-versed inthe local geology and was instrumental in the development of geotechnical analysis, instrumentation, and buildingprotection plans <strong>for</strong> the SR 99 tunnel alignment.He per<strong>for</strong>med instrumentation design andmonitoring, and implemented grouting protectionand remedial action plans <strong>for</strong> urban tunnelOur team conducted an in-depth study of the soil conditionsand analyzed all of the structures along the alignment thatcould be impacted by TBM-induced ground settlement.39
