East Tunnel Construction Timeline
Contract award Construction of launch shaft – 1 year Utility relocation at headwalls Construction of headwalls – 6 to 8 months Construction of extraction shaft at Yonge Street

Tunnel Boring Machine
The construction of new tunnels under Eglinton Avenue is done by tunnel boring machines (TBMs).
Each TBM moves forward by pushing off against concrete segments. The operator advances the machine as soil is removed from the TBM face through
a conveyor system. The launch pit remains active for
removal of muck/spoils.
4
Launch of the Tunnel Boring Machine
The Eglinton Crosstown tunnel will consist of side-by-side or twin tunnels.
Each tunnel will be 6.75 metres internal diameter.
Initially, one machine will begin excavation; the other will follow on a parallel course soon after.
5
Launch Shaft Operations
To keep the tunnel safe for the crew a ventilation system pumps fresh air into the tunnel and exhaust air is moved out of the tunnel.
Cranes remain in position during the mining operation; muck will be hauled out and new concrete tunnel segments will be delivered.
6
Tunnelling Begins
Tunnel boring machines work beneath Eglinton Avenue. Business activities and traffic will continue with this method. A single TBM will tunnel 75 metres per week. Each machine is capable of moving 500 cubic metres of earth per day. The machines are made in Toronto by Caterpillar Tunneling Canada Corporation,
formerly LOVAT, a world leader in tunnel boring machine manufacturing.

Overview: Design Excellence at Metrolinx
Design excellence at Metrolinx refers to the successful interplay between:
Functionality Durability Beauty Value
9
Crosstown Principles of Design Excellence
1. A strong conceptual narrative vision across the system
2. Design that elevates the quality of the public transit experience
3. Civic caliber and scale of built form and materials
4. Clarity and simplicity of architectural expression through integrated design of building systems and elements
5. Responsiveness to contextual, local and future conditions
10
1. A Strong Conceptual Narrative Vision across the System
A coherent and unified architectural strategy for the
entire Crosstown line
Clear strategy for consistent and variable elements
11
Openness through optimal spatial penetration
2. Design that Elevates the Quality of the Public Transit Experience
Optimized daylight penetration
12
Unified ground plane inside and outside stations and at stops
3. Civic Calibre and Scale of Built Form and Materials
Civic materials and character of open spaces
13
Integrated structural, mechanical, and electrical systems
4. Clarity and Simplicity of Architectural Expression through Integrated Building Systems and Elements
A clear hierarchy and plan for user-centred integrated information
14
Integration with historic elements
5. Responsiveness to Contextual, Local and future Conditions
Sustainability measures

New Approach: Alternative Financing and Procurement (AFP)Public Private Partnership models have been underway in Canada for 20 years165 projects21 transportation projects$51 billion total project value
Canada-wide examplesCanada Line rapid transit project (Vancouver)Autoroute 25 (Montréal)Trans-Canada Highway (Atlantic Canada)
Ontario examplesPan Am games athletes villageOttawa Light Rail TransitHighway 407 East Phase 1The Rt. Hon. Herb Gray Parkway (Formerly the Windsor Essex Parkway

Owner’s Role Changes with AFP
38
New Approach: Advantages of (AFP)
Increased capacity to bring projects to market Transfer of risk Appropriate risks transferred to private sector to ensure “on time, on budget” delivery
and offer value for money Design, construction, cost escalation, schedule delays, operations, maintenance, life
cycle, financial risk Cost certainty Optimal cost combination: combines capital, maintenance and life cycle costs Integration of design and construction
39
New Approach: Roles and Responsibilities in the Design Build Finance Maintain model
