Our Team

Connected. Collaborative. Committed.

Together, the members of Kiewit-Shea Tunnel Constructors bring the expertise, resources, and an innovative and collaborative approach to deliver on Amtrak’s vision of enhanced travel safety, mobility, and sustainability along one of the most heavily traveled routes in the Northeast Corridor.

Kiewit and Shea began their collaborative relationship decades ago when the companies worked together on WMATA subway tunnel projects in the Washington, DC. Since 1983 the team has completed 23 successful tunneling projects, and our local presence dates back 34 years to the historic Phoenix Shot Tower Tunnel project in Baltimore.
