BOSTON HARBOR TUNNEL PROJECT UTILIZES CLSM

This article describes the construction of the new Central Artery/Tunnel (CA/T) Project, designed to alleviate Boston's complex traffic problems, and the role that CLSM played. There were at least three major applications of CLSM utilization. First, the underground utility corridors have the need of complete consolidation of backfill material around the corridors to eliminate future settlement, a need easily serviced with flowable fill. Secondly, the need for fill material between the exterior of the aforementioned slurry walls and the existing terrain also brought to light the versatility and value of material that would flow like a liquid, yet support like a solid. The third application of CLSM is the space between the tunnel boxes and supporting walls for the cut and cover tunnels.
