SEM Crossover Cavern in Downtown L.A.
The most technically complex aspect of the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA) Regional Connector Transit Corridor (RCTC) project in Downtown Los Angeles is the mined crossover cavern, the largest tunneled excavation contemplated in Los Angeles, to be constructed using sequential excavation methods (SEM). This paper describes the integrated geostructural design and construction approach developed to maximize construction productivity while ensuring the stability and performance of existing infrastructure.
