Abstract :
The Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) features two 20-TeV counter rotating proton beams which will be housed in 87 km of tunnel. This very-large-scale program and its time frame for construction require the acceleration and overlap of activities and possible compromises between civil construction and technical needs. The primary focus of this work is to provide an update of underground components of civil construction as of April, 1991.<>
