Abstract:

Of the many challenging aspects of the $10.8 billion, 7.5 mi long Central Artery Project in Boston, the construction of soldier pile, tremie concrete (SPTC) walls under the existing elevated highway ranks high on the list. With little room to work beneath the existing freeway, crews are forced to use special equipment and construction techniques to install the permanent sidewalls before excavation of the new underground highway can begin.
