Conveyor Belt Operator

The Hampton Roads Connector Partners JV (HRCP) consisting of Dragados, VINCI, and Flatiron has been selected to construct the $3.8bn Design Build project –the largest civil construction contract ever awarded by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT).

The project scope across a 9 mile section of the I-64 will include: a new 3.5-mile bridge-tunnel crossing that will accommodate a total of 8 lanes of capacity across the water, replacement of the existing marine approach bridges and the addition of a third lane on I-64 in each direction. The twin 45’ diameter 1.5-mile tunnels will be bored by TBM, creating the second largest TBM tunnel opening for a TBM in North America. The project is expected to continue to the end of 2025.

This Conveyor Belt system is composed of 4 different belts, including a rotating stacker belt for a spoil storage in land, and a moving tripper car mounted on a structure on top of the water that is able to discharge the spoils left or right into barges.

The spoils handled by the conveyor will be coming from the HRBT Launching Pit excavation (where the TBM will be assembled and launched), and then used to transport all the excavated spoils from the new HRBT twin-tunnels.
