Commentary by project managers, planners, builders, labor unions, civic and professional voices and crews who call this the 'job of a lifetime'. Two years in the making, this unique First Edition publication is a collaboration of those who spent years underground solving complex engineering with innovation and perseverance.
Comments on the tunnel drive:
"No day down there was ever the same. There was no easy day; this was no ‘walk in the park’. During the rebuild, the crews were running seven-days-per-week, 12-hour days. That’s just what was expected."
JH, Bertha Rescue Shaft foreman
"Another challenge was information overload. This machine had sensors to monitor 6,000 items that were displayed on six computer screens in the operator’s cab. Items like torque, thrust pressures, speeds, flows, amps, volumes, tank levels, and on and on. By the end of a six-foot push your head may explode." JR, TBM Operator
