King County, Wash., will begin removal of a stuck tunnel-boring machine inside the Brightwater Treatment Plant conveyance system, near Seattle, later this month. Replacement joint-venture contractor Jay Dee/Coluccio will spend $4 million to freeze the ground around the TBM’s cutter head, then cut apart and remove the machine by spring 2011.
