Water conveyance tunnel. Whether for raw potable water transmission or the generation of power the engineering of water conveyance tunnels requires an appreciation of a range of construction and operational considerations including these. Our projects include the boston harbor outfall tunnel the largest diameter rock tunneled outfall in the world and the award winning east side and west side cso tunnels in portland oregon. Water conveyance tunnels wsp designs and manages the construction of water and wastewater tunnels aqueducts cso tunnels and offshore outfalls and deep shafts in all ground conditions. In addition to conveyance tunnels our experience includes pipelines pump stations flow control facilities shafts and special structures related to water and wastewater conveyance.

Water supply tunnels aqueducts intake and outfall structures interceptors trunk and drainage pipelines are major components of water distribution. Water conveyance systems move water and wastewater from points of collection to facilities for treatment and finally for distribution or disposal. In situ ground stresses as related to conveyance leakage. Water conveyance tunnels require special considerations regarding friction losses drop shafts for vertical conveyance air removal control of infiltration and exfiltration tunnel linings lake taps and connections to live tunnels and maintenance.
