Happy World Tunnel Day

Today we’re celebrating the tunneling and underground professionals who make complex infrastructure possible. From metro expansions to mine rehabilitation to delivering reliable water resources, our team brings creativity and technical expertise to every challenge.

To mark the day, we’re sharing photos of the RiverRenew Tunnel System—the largest infrastructure project in Alexandria, Virginia’s history. Schnabel’s tunneling and underground team supported the project from planning through construction, delivering a 2.2-mile-long tunnel, diversion structures, and expanded wet-weather treatment capacity to help AlexRenew keep millions of gallons of combined sewage out of its waterways.

See how collaboration and innovation are driving long-term community and environmental benefits—check out the project profile and case study video.
