News & Events

Join UC&T June 23-26 on an adventure to Washington, DC. You'll learn about this industry and make wonderful connections at the Rapid Excavation and Tunneling Conference (RETC), and our tour of the DC Water Anacostia River Tunnel Project will be a great learning opportunity! Submit your resume with UC&T coursework, experience and interest to aniess@mines.edu. Due April 15. (PDF)
Graduate students Bryan Walter and Sam Dyas traveled to the Spadina subway extension project in Toronto in September to instrument one of the soft ground tunnel boring machines. They will collect vibration data continuously for the next 6 months as the TBM bores approximately 1 km through glacial soils.
16 students from civil, geological and mining engineering, accompanied by Acting Center Director Mike Mooney, visited two tunnel projects in New York City in April. The first project - in hard rock - was the Manhattan caverns beneath Grand Central Station while the second project involved soft ground tunneling in Queens. Both are part of the major East Side access project.
