Philosophy Of the Blowouts Which
Have Attended the subaque-
Gus Excavations

From the Scientific American
In nearly all suhaqueous tunneling as at
present practiced air pressure within the
tunnel of sufficient strength to counterbai-
ance at the heading the pressure of silt and
water IS obligatory. The Increase of pres
sure required above that of the atmosphere
IS approximately one pound per square inch
for every two feet of depth. With small
tunnel of. say, six feet bore. the differences
of pressure required between the top and
bottom of the tunnel is slight Qhree
pounds), but with tunnel of large diam
eter twenty three feeo, such as is required
for a railway, this difference in pressure
becomes four times as great. AS the air
pressure at the top of tunnel heading OF
the latter size is some ten or twelve pounds
greater than is needed to properly counter
balance the inward pressure of sand or s II
at that point, there Is a constant seepage
of compressed air through the river bed.
This tends to loosen the material of which
the bed is composed. and II the thickness OF
silt Is not sufficient, II its consistency is
not good. there may be a blowout, whereby
hole Is made in the bed of the river and
| the tunnel is liable to be flooded. The ex-
pedient must then be resorted to OF dump
ing clay upon the bed of the river, in order
to strengthen 1t and I'LL the hole, as well
as to increase the depth of earth above the
tunnel roof.
In the two tunnels now being constructed
for the Pennsylvania Railroad Company un-
der the East river there have been con-
siderable number of blowouts. These oc-
currences are rather spectacular, as great
column of water is projected twenty-five
feet or more into the air. They have been
the object of much comment from the
newspapers. According to the engineer in
charge of the work. however, these blow
outs have not been more numerous than
was expected. The method of stopping
them by dumping clay upon the river bed
is an old one, 1t having been first used some
seventeen years ago by the same engineer
In the initial work upon the Hudson river
tunnel. This engineer is the man who su-
perintended the construction of the Black
wall tunnel under the Thames, in which
case there was a distance of five feet inter
vening between the top of the tunnel and
the top of the river bed A blanket of clay
fifteen feet thick was deposited upon the
river bed at this place. and the tunnel was
driven without any blowouts Somewhat
similar conditions have been met with
the west shore of the East river. The twin
| tunnels, which are only fourteen feet apart,
start from shaft which was sunk at the
edge OF the river, and run for about 400 feet
through solid rock. As they emerge from
this rock. the face of which forms a grad
ual incline, they run partly through rock
and partly through sand At this point
there were but ten feet of sand above the
line of the tunnel. and it was necessary to
dump clay upon the river bed in order to
obtain total thickness of twenty feet.

Congealing the Silt.

With a view to using It in future tunnel
ing operations, the Pennsylvania railroad is
experimenting with new system which
was invented by Mr.. Chas Sooysmith, and
which consists In the main, In first driving
a small pilot tunnel and then, after install
ing in 1t series of circulating pipes. OF
freezing the moist material around the tun-
mel a sufficient distance to allow Of en-
larging the smaller tunnel in the frozen
silt In order thoroughly to test the prac-
ticapility Of this idea, the company drove
from the base Of an 80-foOt shaft located at
the foot of East 35th street a seven-and-
ne-half-foot tunnel. 160 feet long. out be-
meath the surface of the river.
The least depth of material above this
small tunnel is about twenty feet Placed
longitudinally along the walls OF the tun-
mel throughout Its entire circumference, are
a series of pipes for the circulation OF the
brine of a refrigerating plant located on
the pier. BY means OF TINS arrangement
a temperature of about 35 degrees Fahren-
heit below zero has been constantly main
tanned in the tunnel for some months, with
the object Of freezing the sand to radiai
distance of thirteen and three-quarters feet.
At different points in the tunnel holes
have been pierced through the cast-tron
she'll and run at varying distances into The
sand Sealed in these holes are thermome-
tiers with electric recording devices, which
record the temperature constantly at the
different depths. The result reached thus
far is that the sand has been frozen about
the tube a distance of nine feet In all a.
rectfons, SO that about two-thirds of the
distance to be frozen has ALREADY been
rea ched The idea Is to obtain frozen
cylinder thirty-five feet In diameter, or
twelve feet larger In diameter than the
completed tunnel There will thus be ring
of frozen earth six feet thick to sustain the
pressure of sand and water above and
around the larger tunnel while the plating
is being placed. BY removing the plates
OF the small tunnel and quarrying out the
frozen material the enlargement Of the
tunnel can thus be accomplished without
the use of any compressed air and without
the danger of blowouts. 1t Is estimated
that the enlargement OF tunnel by
this method will require from three
to six month"; The pilot tunnel can
be driven in half the time required to con-
struct full-sized tunnel, and as all delays
from blowouts would be avoided, 1t seems
probable that a gain might be made in
the time required for construction as well
as In the cost of building. Perhaps the
greatest advantage would be found In the
fact that no air pressure would be re-
quired, and, consequently. there would be
no delays to the work nor loss Of life from
this cause. In the present East river tun-
nels according to tire statement of the
engineer in charge. fourteen men have sue
cumbed as the result of working IN the
high pressure {thfrty-four pounds to the
square inch above atmosDhere1. while the
work has been greatly delayed by the FREE
quent necessity OF changing the pressure
when different kinds OF material were be-
ing passed through.

Strengthening River Bed.

After the tunnel had been completed for
about one hundred to one hundred and
fifty feet, this clay was removed and dis
charged farther out In the river, thus
making 1t possible to push forward another
| section of tunnel This, 1t will be seen,
is a rather laborous method of preparing
the way for the tunnel but despite the fact
that this method had to be resorted to for
a considerable distance from shore, the tun-
nels have advanced at an average rate of
from five to eight feet day. The con-
tract time for the completion of the tun-
nes expires In little over two years
hence. In order to complete them within
this time, the contractors have only to pro-
gress at the rate of three or four feet
day. Thus 1t will readily be seen that in all
probability they will be able to carry out
their contract OF the four tubes being
run under the river, one of each pair has
been pushed forward 600 feet from the
shaft on the Manhattan shore, while the
other two have gone out ITO and 2JO feet
respectively, the former being just about
TO emerge from the rock, while the latter
Is in the section consisting of rock and
sand. The reason that one tunnel of each
pair is being pushed forward instead of the
two is that the contractors did not want TO
run the risk of blowout in one tunnel
affecting the work In Its twin. This would
not be liable to happen IL one OF each pair
was pushed forward, since the two pairs OF
tunnels are 100 feet apart. The total dis
lance under the river Is about 1900 feet
The two tunnels that are farthest along
have reached the point Of greatest depth
50 feet-below the surface of the river. The
tunnels which are being driven to meet
these from the Long Island side have been
constructed for distance OF 1900 feet
from East avenue, Long Island City, and
they are already out some little distance
beneath the surface OF the river At just
what point the tunnels being driven from
the two shores will meet 1t is at present
difficult to say The Blackwells Island
ledge of rock must be penetrated at the
center, and the probabilities are that the
western tunnels will be driven through
this rock and will meet the eastern tunnels
on the other side of 1t.
