The Proposed Freezing Process for the Pennsylvania

Tunnel.

As one of the methods that has been suggested for the con¬
struction of the Pennsylvania tunnel under the Hudson river
is an application of the freezing process, by which many deep
and dangerous excavations have been made for shafts in Europe,
the description of the process by the engineer who proposed it,
Mr. Charles Sooysmith. which appears in the Engineering Ne'ws,
is interesting and timely.

For shaft work. Mr. Sooysmith says, it is usual to sink vertical
pipes arranged in a circle around fhe site of the shaft. These
pipes are closed at the bottom, and each contains a smaller pipe
open at the bottom. Brine, cooled by an ice machine, is circu¬
lated through these pipes until a frozen wall is made, shutting off
'water and sand, and permitting the excavation and shaft work
to be readily done within the protection of this frozen cofferdam,
Tc apply the freezing process to the construction of subaqueous
tunnels, there has seemed the almost unsurmountable difficultj
of reaching the earth to be frozen by a circulating medium wltn
which to accomplish the freezing, and it is to provide a Tvay to
attain this end  that the present designs have been made.

In constructing subaqueous tunnels by compressed air, the dif¬
ficulties and large cost occur chiefly because of the difference
of hydrostatic head at the top and bottom of the heading and
from the size of the shield. When this difference is small, as
in a tunnel but 6 or 7 ft, in diameter, the tunnel can be exca¬
vated through the most difficult materials with comparatively
small expense. The plan contemplates, therefore, that a small
pilot tunnel 6 or 7 ft. in diameter be built on the center line of
the proposed main tunnel, and that this be used as a refrigera¬
tion chamber, from whi^ch to freeze the material surrounding this
small tunnel. This may be accomplished by maintaining a tem¬
perature below 0 degrees Fahrenheit in this pilot tunnel, just as
is now done in cold storage plants where, in some cases, brine
is circulated through pipes located in the cold chambers and
in some instances air cooled in another room is blown in and cir¬
culated. The pilot tunnel may be temporarily lined with metal
plates and brftie may be circulated through pipes laid against
this, leaving the center unol)structed, so that the freezing may





follow closely the excavation of the pilot tunnel; or. when the
pilot is first completed, its lining may be made tight and the
"brine circulated through the body of the small tunnel itself.
"When it is desired to extend the pilot while freezing is in pro¬
gress from it. the walls will be made annular so that access can
be had through the center.

"Where a double-track tunnel is to be constructed requiring a,
very large excavation, radial pipes may be pushed out in sec¬
tions at intervals from the pilot tunnels and the brine circulated
through these. In the worl; done at Iron Mountain, the material
T\as frozen to a distance of 9 ft. in 72 days from pipes S ins. In
diameter, with brine at zero temperature. Thus the material
may be solidified to a sufficient distance to enable the full-sized
tunnel to be excavated at one time, still leaving an ample protec¬
tion of frozen material outside of the excavation.

Another plan of procedure not necessitating the use of radial
pipes would be to begin excavation when the freezing had ex¬
tended 4 or 5 ft. from the pilot tunnel, and enlarge the excava¬
tion a foot or two at a time by successive operations as tha
freezing proceeds outwardly, doing the freezing 'by a circulation
of cold air.

Large refrigeration plants are now in use in New York and
other cities in which the refrigeration service is carried several
blocks from the producing plant.

By the methods outlined above a cylinder of the material^ in
the bed of the river can be readily solidified, and at a relatively
small cost, accurately ascertainable beforehand. From the rec¬
ords of the work done at Iron Mountain, and tests at which
dredged from the bottom of the Hudson, the speed at which
the freezing can be done, the number of thermal units required to
freeze a given amount and the loss by cooling outside the mass
frozen, are kno-w'n. Tests made on the frozen silt show its
strength to be equal to that of good concrete. Hence while the
material would be solidified to a distance of several feet outside
the space to be excavated, the strength is such that 2 or 3 feet
of frozen wall would suffice to prevent collapse. In excavating
for the tunnel, the methods now common in the mining of froz¬
en material in the Klondike could be employed. Also some of
the appliances used in the mining of coal would be well adapted.
