BOULDER MSI

Location:

Boulder, CO

Client:

BT Construction

Background

The project involved the installation of three secant shafts to support the construction of the city’s main sewer line, which transports wastewater to the Boulder Water Resource Recovery Facility. The shafts would provide general contractor, BT Construction with access for a Mini Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) to install a portion of the sanitary sewer line.

Schnabel’s Solution

BT Construction contracted with Schnabel to install 84 individual secant shafts, which involved 2,892 vertical feet (VF) of drilling using a Bauer BG28. The project featured two receiving shafts, each with a 20-foot diameter and varying excavation depths: one shaft reached 33 feet deep, while the other extended to 28 feet. The third shaft was a 33-foot diameter launch shaft, with an excavation depth of 28 feet.

Results

Schnabel planned each rig mobilization carefully to minimize traffic disruption. One mobilization occurred overnight to ensure safety and reduce impact.
