Executive Summary
This report is an update to the Utility Tunnel Restoration project dated July 16, 2001 for Tunnels AC, AD, AE, AF, AG, AI, AJ, AK, and Hillcrest. The previous report noted deficiencies with the root cause being water intrusion. Water continues to be a problem causing deterioration of the reinforcing steel leading to concrete spalling, delamination, and cracking. A summary of the total repair costs and upgrades is listed below.
Tunnel AC $109,600.00 Tunnel AD $536,500.00 Tunnel AE $214,000.00 Tunnel AF $417,500.00 Tunnel AG $47,200.00 Tunnel AI $443,600.00 Tunnel AJ $618,700.00 Tunnel AK $120,000.00 Hillcrest Tunnel $450,000.00 Tunnel Ventilation System $604,000.00 Electrical Upgrades $60,000.00 Total $3,621,100.00
Introduction & Scope
A report identifying site wide tunnel conditions and a restoration cost estimate was completed in July of 2001. KFI has been tasked with updating the study by summarizing current conditions and developing a new cost estimate specific to the nine (9) tunnels listed above. Some upgrades have been completed in the tunnels since the previous report, however little of it is structural. Concrete spalling and delamination caused by corrosion of the reinforcing steel remains evident in multiple locations, and several areas below parking lots and roadways have been shored due to structural concerns with current and planned above grade traffic loads.
Representatives from the State of Minnesota and the Faribault Correctional Facility escorted KFI through the tunnels making it possible to note the current condition. Based on the review, a summary of each tunnel’s current condition, necessary actions, and an estimate of costs to repair the identified issues was compiled.
The structural repairs and condition of the remaining tunnel sections will only remain structurally sound if water can be prevented from penetrating the walls and corroding the tunnel reinforcing steel.
Therefore we recommend applying an external waterproofing system to prevent further corrosion to structural, mechanical, and electrical systems. The extent of waterproofing will depend on further investigation to identify the water table elevation and how it relates to the tunnel elevations.
Previously recommended was an intake and exhaust system to control the relative humidity in the tunnel spaces. The system shall ventilate the tunnel system at a rate of five (5) air changes per hour
Faribault, MN Page 5 of 25 when relative humidity in the tunnels exceeded set point or when occupied. Ventilation in the summer months would be limited to periods when ambient relative humidity levels are below tunnel humidity levels. This report identifies areas where it is still necessary to install an effective mechanical ventilation system which would control tunnel humidity and promote the evaporation of any accumulating water, thereby extending the life of all tunnel systems subject to the effects of moisture.
Standing water was present in several tunnels at the time of the team walkthrough. We recommend installing new sumps, pumps and discharge piping, and repairing existing sumps, pumps and discharge piping in the areas with standing to provide automatic dewatering.
Tunnel areas undergoing extensive restoration will require that the mechanical and electrical utilities in the vicinity be removed or temporarily shored to facilitate structural work. Although this circumstance may represent an opportunity for redesign or other rework of these existing systems, costs associated with redesign are not included in this report.
Project Priority
A description of each priority level is listed below.
Priority 1 Those areas of the tunnels that have deteriorated to a point where safety is an issue, or where the tunnel structure is inadequate to support mechanical and electrical utilities or traffic and earth loads on the tunnel. Repair is recommended promptly after receiving funding.
Priority 2 Those areas of the tunnels that are deteriorating such as that they are projected to become a Priority 1 area within three (3) years. Repair is recommended within two (2) years.
Priority 3 Those areas of the tunnels exhibiting relatively minor structural deterioration or minor damage to mechanical and electrical utilities. Repair is recommended within five (5) years.

Construction Cost Summary
The construction cost estimates are for budgetary purposes, and are predicated upon the following:
Included in the cost estimates:
1. General structural, mechanical, and electrical construction contract amounts.
2. Construction contingency.
3. Design contract services.
Not included in the cost estimates:
1. Work associated with low voltage data or communications systems in the affected tunnel areas including removal, replacement, temporary connections, or other work, even when such work may be required to facilitate other work that is within the present scope.
2. Redesign or other rework of mechanical or electrical systems removed solely to facilitate structural restoration in the tunnels.
3. Costs incurred by the facility to coordinate or accommodate utility or other service or system interruptions.
4. Administrative or project management costs by the State.
Assumptions applicable to cost estimates:
1. No asbestos or other hazardous materials requiring special handling are located within the project site.
2. Facility will remove all non-essential tunnel security doors and install louvers in remaining tunnel security barriers to promote ventilation.
3. The tunnel ventilation system is an integrated whole, and as such will be installed throughout the tunnel system as part of the work.

Ventilation of Underground Tunnels
We recommend the installation of a ventilation system serving the tunnels included in this report. To control airflow we recommend the installation of air inlets at the end of each ventilated tunnel and centrally exhaust the air at two (2) existing cupolas (tunnel surface enclosures). To control short-circuiting of air in the remaining tunnel cupolas not used for exhaust, each one shall be repaired to minimize airflow through them.
Standing Water Control
We recommend installing two (2) new sumps and pumps including discharge piping to the nearest receiver, and repairing three (3) existing sumps, pumps and discharge piping in the areas with standing water.
Seven (7) intakes at the tunnel ends $273,000.00 Five (5) cupola repair locations $175,000.00 Two (2) exhaust cupola locations $108,000.00 Two (2) new sumps and pumps $ 30,000.00 Three (3) sumps and pumps repaired $ 18,000.00
Total Estimated Ventilation Cost: $604,000.00
Faribault, MN Page 25 of 25
Electrical Upgrades
KFI recommends installing additional light fixtures to supply illumination for the path of egress for emergency exits. Communication cables and other low voltage cables are being run throughout the tunnel and should be installed in raceway to provide protection and marked with the voltage class.
Other minor repairs are listed in the tunnel summaries. Total cost includes providing power for new HVAC. It is assumed that there is adequate capacity to feed these items from existing electrical rooms.
Total Estimated Electrical Cost $60,000.00
