CALTRAIN BRISBANE TUNNEL REHABILITATION PROJECT

Project Description

As part of Caltrain's ongoing, system-wide electrification program, Tunnel #4 was analyzed and rehabilitated along the Caltrain corridor. Due to poor drainage and settlement issues, Tunnel #4 was suffering from extensive tunnel floor slab failure.
