Comparison of Construction Methods for Underground Freight Transportation in Texas
This paper presents feasibility of using open-cut and tunneling for building an underground freight transportation (UFT) system from Port of Houston to a distribution center south of Dallas, Texas. This 250-mile project, if built, will be one of the longest planned Underground Transportation projects. UFT uses close-fitting capsules carrying freight through underground pipelines between terminals. The construction of a UFT project involves using either open-cut or trenchless method. This paper will provide an analysis of applicability, constructability to approach in which the construction method can be selected; and parameters which need to be considered for the cost analysis. For defining which section of project is applicable for trenchless or open-cut methods, the entire route was divided into three segments. This case study considers using highway right-of-ways with a 26 ft diameter for “single twin-track tunnel” as tunneling method, and 17 ft for “double single-track tunnels” as open-cut method.
