Borings in Broadway, New York
In order to ascertain the quality and nature of the material underlying Broadway, in the City of New York, the Rapid Transit Commission of this city undertook a system of borings in 1891 under the direction of Chief Engineer William E. Worthen, Past President of this Society, and under the immediate supervision of the writer as Principal Assistant Engineer. With the consent of the Rapid Transit Commission, the results of these borings are now laid before the Society.
In general, the system followed was to put down a test hole at every street crossing from South Ferry along Whitehall Street to Broadway, and thence to Thirty-fourth Street. These holes were sunk by the water-jet process and were carried down until rock was encountered.
