Underground vaults built for storage of Navy Diesel and fuel oils are concrete lined vertical cylinders 100 ft in diam and 250 ft high overall, with dome shaped ends at top and bottom; excavation in solid rock involved shaft sinking, upraising and enlarging operations; care was taken to make sure that steel faced, concrete walls of cylinders were of uniform thickness; prestress in concrete was applied by pressure grouting between lining and rock.
