Completed in 1995 by Mole Constructors, the Wickliffe Utility Tunnel project encompassed the construction of a tunnel spanning 152 linear feet, specifically designed to accommodate 120-inch jack pipe. Situated at a depth of 20 feet, the tunnel traversed through shale rock formations. This endeavor involved intricate excavation and installation processes to ensure the successful integration of the large-diameter pipe within the geological context of the shale rock strata. Specialized equipment and techniques were employed to navigate the challenging terrain and execute precise tunneling operations. Additionally, meticulous planning and engineering expertise were essential to overcome the complexities associated with working in such geological conditions, ensuring the integrity and stability of the tunnel structure.
