Project Details

This quick start-up project encompassed constructing approximately 17 miles of new 14-inch, high-pressure liquids pipeline across rugged, mountainous terrain through the winter. The job entailed rock ditch, road bores, dewatering, numerous county road crossings, dozens of foreign line crossings, construction and tie-in of a 2,000 LF 6-inch lateral pipeline, and miscellaneous valve work.
