Hand Tunneling	Steel/Wood	Tallahassee, FL	FDOT	Soft Ground	57' x 144 " Ø
	SUMMARY: Bradshaw Construction built a 57' long hand mine liner plate tunnel for Florida State University to prevent pedestrian overflow onto Lafayette Street after FSU football games. Bradshaw has a long history of building liner plate tunnels; what made this project unique was the active railroad tracks only 6.5' overhead.

430 - Deep River Outfall Sewer
PROJECT TYPE	SUB TYPE	LOCATION	OWNER	GEOLOGY	DIMENSIONS
Hand Tunneling	Drill and Blast	High Point, NC	City of High Point	Rock	1,400'x82-96" Ø
	SUMMARY: This project involved the utilization of two tunneling methods: hand mine drill & blast, and a TBM capable of mining through hard rock conditions. For the most part the 1,000' TBM run was self-supporting, but some of the weaker zones required rock bolts, roof channels, and even liner-plates for a short reach. Two drill and blast road crossings totaling 400' were completed on this job. Both drill... Complete Project Profile
