Who was Ole Singstad?
Ole Knutsen Singstad was a Norwegian-American civil engineer who innovated the ventilation system for the Holland Tunnel and advanced the use of the "Sunk-tube" method of underwater vehicular tunnel building, a system of constructing the tunnels with prefabricated sections.
By 1950, Singstad had designed and overseen the construction of more underwater tunnels than all other engineers combined.
