The objectives of this phase of engineering are to: 1. Perform a visual assessment and evaluate structural integrity. 2. Review the applicable codes and regulations to determine the areas where the tunnel is considered to be substandard to support passenger rail service. 3. Identify the level of remediation required. 4. Develop alternatives to address the structural condition of the tunnel. 5. Prepare estimates of probable construction cost of alternatives.
