3 | Utility Tunnel Master Planning for the Future May 2013
• The University of
Virginia was Founded in
1819 by Thomas
Jefferson in
Charlottesville, Virginia.
• As of 2012, the
University supports
approximately 12,420
staff, 14,640
undergraduates, and
6,455 postgraduates on
Grounds.
UNIVERSITY UTILITY TUNNEL SYSTEM OVERVIEW
4 | Utility Tunnel Master Planning for the Future May 2013
• The University supports
over 550 buildings with
over 16 million gross
square feet (GSF).
• Many of the buildings
are serviced by central
utilities conveyed
through a network of
tunnels.
UNIVERSITY UTILITY TUNNEL SYSTEM OVERVIEW
5 | Utility Tunnel Master Planning for the Future May 2013
• Archive documents indicate
that the first utility tunnel
was constructed around
1895.
• There is approximately 6.5
miles of walk-thru tunnel,
box conduit and other
buried structures carrying
central utilities on Grounds.
• Approximately 4.1 miles is
active walk-thru tunnel.

• The walk-thru tunnels vary
in size and cross-sectional
geometry.
• The walk-thru tunnels carry
multiple utilities including:
steam, pumped condensate,
medium temperature hot
water, low temperature hot
water, domestic hot water,
potable water, fire water,
telecom, and electrical.
8 | Utility Tunnel Master Planning for the Future May 2013
UNIVERSITY UTILITY TUNNEL SYSTEM OVERVIEW
• In 1998 the Director of
Energy and Utilities
completed a visual
inspection of the entire
walk-through utility tunnel
system.
• This inspection included
a recommendation to
complete the first tunnel
conditions and
assessment report.
9 | Utility Tunnel Master Planning for the Future May 2013
UTILITY TUNNEL SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT PLANNING
– 1990’S TO 2008
• Based on this
recommendation, MMM
Design completed a series of
tests and analysis evaluating
the existing utility tunnel
network.
• The conditions assessment
report was completed in 2000.
• The completion of this
assessment report launched
the tunnel rehabilitation work.
10 | Utility Tunnel Master Planning for the Future May 2013
UTILITY TUNNEL SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT PLANNING
– 1990’S TO 2008
• In addition to
rehabilitation, the
University identified
tunnel replacements
and expansions to
better serve the
Grounds.
• These projects
included both state and
non-state funding.
11 | Utility Tunnel Master Planning for the Future May 2013
UTILITY TUNNEL SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT PLANNING
– 1990’S TO 2008
• Once the 2000
assessment report was
complete, the University
proceeded with the
following projects: • “Big Bore” – replacement of
tunnel I and expansion of central
utilities to new facilities
• Tunnel G rehabilitation
• Tunnel Q rehabilitation
• Tunnel D rehabilitation
• Tunnel T rehabilitation
12 | Utility Tunnel Master Planning for the Future May 2013
UTILITY TUNNEL SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT PLANNING
– 1990’S TO 2008
• Emergency situation in
2008 required the repair
of 90 linear feet of tunnel
under the busiest
intersection on Grounds.
• In addition to the repair
of this tunnel, the
University believed that
an update was needed
of the 2000 conditions
assessment report. 13 | Utility Tunnel Master Planning for the Future May 2013
UTILITY TUNNEL SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT PLANNING
– 1990’S TO 2008
• While completing routine
maintenance, University
personnel identified a
potential concern with the
structural integrity of the
existing tunnel.
• The University,
Contractor, and Engineer
worked on an expedited
schedule to make repairs.
14 | Utility Tunnel Master Planning for the Future May 2013
UNIVERSITY AVENUE EMERGENCY TUNNEL
REPAIR/MASTER PLAN UPDATE
• Working together, the
design was completed in
2 weeks and approved by
review agencies.
• Contractor mobilized one
week after approval of
design.
• During initial excavation
issues were identified with
the original construction.
15 | Utility Tunnel Master Planning for the Future May 2013
UNIVERSITY AVENUE EMERGENCY TUNNEL
REPAIR/MASTER PLAN UPDATE
• It was determined that the
initial wall construction
utilized the rock removed
to create the trench as
large aggregate within the
cast-in-place wall.
• In addition, a closer
inspection of the MTHW
lines confirmed that their
useful life was rapidly
coming to an end.
16 | Utility Tunnel Master Planning for the Future May 2013
UNIVERSITY AVENUE EMERGENCY TUNNEL
REPAIR/MASTER PLAN UPDATE
• A redesign of the structural
repair and pipe replacement
was completed within one
week.
• Contractor utilized float in
other project schedules to
expedite delivery of
necessary materials.
• Project finished ahead of
schedule, and cost
approximately $390,000.
17 | Utility Tunnel Master Planning for the Future May 2013
UNIVERSITY AVENUE EMERGENCY TUNNEL
REPAIR/MASTER PLAN UPDATE
• Concurrent with the
design and construction
improvements to the
University Avenue project,
the engineer completed a
visual inspection of
approximately 1 mile of
tunnel that was
considered to have the
highest structural
concern.
