Topic: Con Edison¡¯s 345 kV Feeder M29 Project Tunnel Design and Fit-Out

Abstract: Delivering power to NYC offers technical challenges because of the many geological and

manmade obstacles. As part of Con Edison¡¯s recent 345kV Feeder M29 project, construction of a utility

tunnel beneath the Harlem River was required. This presentation will discuss the design challenges

associated with constructing a drill and blast tunnel in Manhattan and the requirements for fitting-out a

utility tunnel, which make it unique.
