Think about the time from arriving at the time clock ar street level to arriving several stories below street level for every worker, every delivery of material, inspector, tools, not to mention managers. Then add the time wasted returning to surface, hoisting out spoils, etc. Then compare to essentially a single story walk down to a "basement" because that is how the IRT is below Park Ave. Then add up the extra costs both labor and materials for multiple escalators to the deep stations. Even if somehow it were cheaper to hard rock drill tunnels hundreds of feet below the surface, the electricity alone to run ventilation, sump pumps, lighting, escalators, elevators lighting for a massively larger cubic space for decades. How is that cheaper? |
