Technicore Underground self-performed the tunnels including setting up compounds, support and sinking of the shafts, tunnel construction, and risers’ connections installations. Technicore as a GC managed subcontractors to complete the rest of the scope which included open cut installation, Cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) rehabilitations, concrete protective linings, traffic signals and surface restorations. Technicore’s sister company, Ewing Fabricators manufactured the AWWA C302 pipe and concrete pressure pipe manholes for this project.
