Described herein are apparatus, systems and methods useful in forming underground vertical structures. Methods are described for constructing an underground vertical structure, comprising the steps of excavating soil to a sufficient depth to create a circular void to accommodate a plurality of segments; assembling a ring shaped structure comprising the plurality of segments; connecting the outside surface of the ring shaped structure with the soil in said circular void, thereby securing the ring shaped structure to the soil; excavating earth beneath the ring shaped structure to accommodate a second ring shaped structure; and repeating steps b-d thereby forming one or more additional ring shaped structures downward into the earth below already formed ring shaped structures until a predetermined depth is reached; thereby forming the underground vertical structure. Systems to perform the above methods are also disclosed.

1. A vertical shaft comprising: a horizontal ring including a plurality of segments,wherein the plurality of segments includes two or more segments, wherein each of the two or more segments includes a body comprising a top horizontal face, a bottom horizontal face, a left face, and a right face,wherein at least one of the left face and the right face is linear and is angled from vertical,wherein the two or more segments each include two or more vertical conduits starting at the top horizontal face and ending at the bottom horizontal face configured to install vertical post tension cables. 2. The vertical shaft of claim 1, wherein the two or more segments include one or more horizontal conduits starting at the right face and ending at the left face. 3. The vertical shaft of claim 2, wherein the one or more horizontal conduits are configured to install horizontal post tension cables emerging at the left face and the right face. 4. The vertical shaft of claim 1, wherein at least one of the top horizontal face or the bottom horizontal face is about 20 ft long. 5. The vertical shaft of claim 1, wherein a distance from the top horizontal face to the bottom horizontal face is about 5 ft long. 6. The vertical shaft of claim 1, wherein the plurality of segments are each reinforced with fiber or steel. 7. A vertical shaft comprising: a horizontal ring including two or more segments, wherein each of the two or more segments includes a body comprising a top horizontal face, a bottom horizontal face, a left face, and a right face,wherein at least one of the left face and the right face is linear and is angled from vertical,wherein the two or more segments each include two or more vertical conduits starting at the top horizontal face and ending at the bottom horizontal face configured to install vertical post tension cables. 8. The vertical shaft of claim 7, wherein the two or more segments include one or more horizontal conduits starting at the right face and ending at the left face. 9. The vertical shaft of claim 8, wherein the one or more horizontal conduits are configured to install horizontal post tension cables emerging at the left face and the right face. 10. The vertical shaft of claim 7, wherein at least one of the top horizontal face or the bottom horizontal face is about 20 ft long. 11. The vertical shaft of claim 7, wherein a distance from the top horizontal face to the bottom horizontal face is about 5 ft long. 12. The vertical shaft of claim 7, wherein the two or more segments are each reinforced with fiber or steel. 13. An vertical shaft comprising: at least one horizontal ring including a plurality of segments,wherein the plurality of segments includes one or more segment, wherein the one or more segment includes a top face, a bottom face, a left face, and a right face,wherein at least one of the left face and the right face is linear and is angled from vertical,wherein the one or more segment each includes two or more vertical conduits starting at the top face and ending at the bottom face configured to install vertical post tension cables. 14. The vertical shaft of claim 13, wherein the one or more segment includes one or more horizontal conduits starting at the right face and ending at the left face. 15. The vertical shaft of claim 14, wherein the one or more horizontal conduits are configured to install horizontal post tension cables emerging at the left face and the right face. 16. The vertical shaft of claim 13, wherein at least one of the top horizontal face or the bottom horizontal face is about 20 ft long. 17. The vertical shaft of claim 13, wherein a distance from the top horizontal face to the bottom horizontal face is about 5 ft long. 18. The vertical shaft of claim 13, wherein the plurality of segments are each reinforced with fiber or steel.
