Permanent Pumping Station of the East Boston Tunnel Now Being Built
The East Boston tunnel’s permanent pumping station lies 100 feet below harbor level, with two deep wells and large pump rooms to serve as the drainage hub from Maverick square to the Atlantic avenue shaft. The Boston Tunnel Construction Company reports 2800 feet excavated of 6060 and a progress rate of 40 feet daily, with 250 workers in two 10 hour shifts and six mules supporting underground hauling. The setup will use steam pumps to move water to city sewers, with minimal reported difficulties beyond occasional pains among workers treated by company physicians.
