Completed in 1995 by Mole Constructors, the Heights Interceptor, Contract 6 project entailed the construction of a tunnel spanning 8,834 linear feet to accommodate 72-inch reinforced concrete pipe. The tunnel depths varied between 40 feet to 100 feet, with excavation carried out through shale rock formations. To ensure structural integrity, the tunnel was supported using ribs, boards, straps, and bolts, effectively stabilizing the surrounding geological conditions during construction.
