environmentally sensitive area? the answer, freeze the ground. >> the way we achieve that was by installing 47 pipes around the shaft and in through the center of the shaft which are called freeze pipes. we drilled them down about 110 feet deep. >> you can see how it works in these photos and video provided by the san francisco public utility's commission. the process is similar to how your freezer at homeworks. coolant was pumped through the pipes and then froze the ground creating a massive cylinder of frozen earth. joy it is like having a glass underground. it gives you the ability you need to excavate the shaft. >> it took about eight weeks to freeze the ground. then work began on excavating the shaft. every five feet workers reinforced the walls with wood and steel so that concrete can be poured. it took four days to install each section. this frozen shaft is where a massive tunneling machine will exit.

right now it is under san francisco bay. when completed, the five-mile tunnel will be the largest built under the bay. tube unlike the tube that sits on the bottom of the bay like a giant straw, the new tunnel is carved out of the earth. it will replace pipes built this 1925 and 1936. engineers say the old pipes won't survive a major earthquake. a failure here would jeprodize the water supply for millions of people from the east bay to san francisco who get water from the reservoir in yosemite national park. the new bay tunnel is designed to withstand a major quake on either the san andre yous or other faults. >> we hope to be there by next year. >> the agency is responsible for the water system. in 2002, the voters uh -- approved the bond measure to overhaul the aging system.
