Joes Creek Interceptor Improvement Project

The Joes Creek Interceptor project in Dallas involves 8,370 linear feet of 60-inch excavated diameter tunnel that will house 36-inch HOBAS carrier pipe. There are 20 shafts (ranging from 21 to 48 vertical feet in depth), and ground conditions include sand, sand with gravel, sandstone, sandy clay, shaley clay, and shale (Eagle Ford). Stiver Engineering provided steel casing pipe calculations for 8 runs. We also created designs for various sizes of shoring pits using sheet piling and wale sets, as well as designs for a 32-foot-diameter liner plate and ring beam shaft at various locations and TBM face pressure calculations.
