Paper

In 2015, SRK developed the conceptual-to-construction design for extending Line H, of the Buenos Aires Metro. SRK assumed full responsibility, leading the geological, geotechnical, structural, waterproofing and procedural aspects of constructing five underground caverns, one cut-and-cover station,1.2 km of warehouses and underground parking and 3.2 km of inter-station tunnels. One landmark achievement was the first head-bench excavation of an underground cavern. SRK’s underground expertise in Argentina spans 20 years.
