Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an annual report published in 1900 detailing the progress achieved during the previous 12 months on major infrastructural projects in and around Boston, Massachusetts. The majority of the report is taken up with two projects: the Boston subway and a tunnel connecting Boston with East Boston. These projects were ambitious and involved radical engineering techniques, which caused delays and controversy. One of the key issues causing delays was the need to design the structures to withstand the challenging soil conditions in the area, which necessitated the use of techniques never before used in the United States. The report goes into detail about these new techniques and the associated engineering challenges. The historical context provided is rich, and the report includes extensive discussion of overcoming engineering challenges â" as well as construction delays due to legal challenges and the constant need to address concerns of the public and other stakeholders.
