How to cut costs on a subway tunnel... step one, don't let the govt manage the project. Step 2... make bricks of the dirt and rock you dig through, and sell them.
In Boston they dug a multilevel parking garage under Boston Commons which earned the contractors a fortune. It was years later they learned the contractors earned $millions selling the dirt.
Brilliant! Genius! I think that selling the stuff most people throw away when on the job site is fantastic... if more people looked at all the trash they fill dumpsters with everyday, and realized how much they could make by selling the stuff to the right people, they'd get rich. I worked at several places that filed a dumpster daily or weekly with things others came and loaded trailers with, and those dumpster divers were selling it as scrap, as recycle, or at the swap meet

Best part about the Boston commons parking garage is it's a short walk to the Bull&Finch aka Cheers.
