• Abstract:
  This report establishes proposed subway tunneling construction needs for thirteen selected U.S. cities during 1971-75 as given by the transit authorities. This information will be used to estimate the demand for subway tunnel construction. This demand estimate is an important criterion in the generation of an UMTA R&D program in tunneling. With the knowledge of the estimated demand in dollars as a function of the various types of construction, e.g., hard rock, soft ground, cut and cover, (including a breakdown of cost by function, i.e. excavation, mucking, etc.) research requirements will be established.
