FTA REPORT AVAILABLE: Specifications and Guidelines for Rail Tunnel Design, Construction, Maintenance, and Rehabilitation<\/h2>\n

Published on: <\/strong>November 4, 2022<\/em><\/p>\n

FTA recently published the Specifications and Guidelines for Rail Tunnel Design, Construction, Maintenance, and Rehabilitation research report and findings<\/a>. The report presents industry needs related to rail tunnel design, construction, maintenance, and rehabilitation identified by reviewing past tunnel incidents and discussions with multiple transit agencies. The report also includes a literature review that compares U.S. rail transit and road tunnel specifications, guidelines and standards; and a gap analysis to determine deficiencies in the current standards. Transit agencies may consider the recommendations regarding voluntary standards and guidance documents when reviewing rail tunnel design, construction, maintenance and rehabilitation.<\/p>\n
