Emergency Tunnel Repair

The Union Pacific Railroad had an extensive tunnel cave-in, which required the replacement of a major section of the existing tunnel cavity.

Syblon Reid cleaned out approximately 125 feet of the existing structure. Then, new pipeline was placed inside, encased and grouted. Portal structures were poured on both ends of the tunnel for added support.

This project was completed in twenty-four calendar days, two days ahead of the original contracted completion date. Syblon Reid took careful measures to assess the overall scope of this project and completed the repairs under budget.

Union Pacific Railroad was very pleased with Syblon Reid's emergency response and timely completion of the project.

 

Technical elements of this project included:

  • Cleaning of 125 feet of existing 58" pipe
  • Placement of new 48" inch pipe inside 58" existing pipe
  • Encasing and grouting of new 48" inch pipe
  • Pouring of portal structures on both ends of tunnel for added support
