Abstract
The Shandaken Tunnel, extending between Prattsville and Shandaken (mostly in Greene County), N. Y., is about 18 miles in length, the longest yet built. It connects two water-sheds, making the run-off of Schoharie Creek as impounded by the Gilboa Dam on the north available to the Esopus water-shed on the south, already serving the City of New York. The paper recounts the development of this project and the geology of the region. The actual construction work is covered in detail, both construction shafts and tunnel proper. Drilling, dynamiting, mucking, timbering, and concrete lining operations are described; also mechanical equipment, progress, and costs.
