In recent years, LFA tunnel inspection teams have evaluated pre-Civil War railroad
tunnels, National Park highway tunnels, live sewer tunnels, old mine drifts, water
conveyance tunnels, subway tunnels, and even an underground unlined chimney.
The company has developed the techniques and experience to inspect these tunnels quickly,
safely and efficiently with a minimum of operational disturbance. Based on the
inspections, the structural stability, hydraulic and hydrologic, geotechnical, and
maintenance aspects of the tunnels can be evaluated and realistic recommendations
developed.
LFA has prepared full rehabilitation designs including construction cost
estimates for successful rehabilitation of numerous tunnels.
Several rehabilitations
went beyond a direct repair, requiring modification of the tunnel for an alternate
use and/or enlarging the existing tunnel opening. LFA is also available during the
rehabilitation construction phase to ensure that the design objectives are being met
and to handle rehabilitation issues as they arise.
