Keynote Discussion 
“Green Light the Green Line”
Paul M. Schuman, PhD, PE, Associate Principal, Simpson Gumpertz & Heger (SGH)

A partial collapse at the Government Center Garage in downtown Boston involved three concrete beams and a construction vehicle impacting the ground directly over a portion of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA)’s Green Line in the Haymarket Tunnel. Collapses are complicated, often tragic, events, and the Haymarket Tunnel is a complex structure. With service ceased, the MBTA needed to promptly understand the implications of the collapse on their infrastructure. Our team responded quickly and creatively with a pragmatic approach, leveraging field observations, analyses of varying complexity, and proof testing to give the MBTA confidence that it was safe to resume Green Line train service.
