The I-35 Capital Express (CapEx) Drainage Tunnel Project in Austin, Texas, is a vital part of the Texas Department of Transportation’s (TxDOT) efforts to enhance infrastructure along one of the state’s most critical corridors. Spanning approximately 6.5 miles, this tunnel features a 22-ft internal diameter and serves as the backbone for improved stormwater management. Once completed, it will significantly mitigate flooding risks and support the overall resilience of the I-35 corridor.
We excel in supporting similar large-scale efforts with our specialized expertise in tunneling, dewatering, and shoring design. These capabilities enable contractors to tackle complex underground projects with safety, efficiency, and long-term functionality in mind.
