Four shafts 40 ft (12m) in diameter, one overflow shaft, three open cut intake structures (vortex shafts) and pump station were also constructed.
View MoreEastern Transmission Reinforcement Phase 2, South Bound Brook, NJ
The extension of a 72-inch (1.8m) transmission main from South Bound Brook to Middlesex Borough was installed in a 1,200-foot (365m) 8.5-foot (2.5m) diameter tunnel was constructed using Lovat TBM with the drive occurring in water bearing contaminated ground to carry the transmission main and will cross beneath the D&R Canal, the D&R State Park and the Raritan River. Two shafts 34-foot (10.4m) and 16-foot (4.9m) were constructed using mechanical methods and blasting to facilitate access to the tunnel.
