The Astor Tunnel Under the East River for Gas Distribution in New York City
The object of this paper is to describe m general the design and construction of a tunnel of large magnitude, but generally simple in character, and to treat more particularly certain difficulties due to physical conditions encountered and methods used in overcoming them. The work described consisted of sinking two shafts, 242 and 277 ft. deep, respectively, and driving a tunnel, 18 ft. on the vertical and 19 ft. on the horizontal axis, between these shafts, a distance of 4 662 ft., through rock under a river with a depth of water of 100 ft.
