Ft. Lauderdale's 17 Directional Drills with 48” and 54” #HDPE This article in Trenchless Technology Magazine discusses Ft. Lauderdale's struggle with aging sewer infrastructure and the frequent pipe failures resulting in spillage of over 211 million gallons in just a single 2 month period. The project is part of the City’s program to replace all of its decaying cast iron and ductile iron sewer pipes due to the area’s corrosive high salt water table. The solution was to use #HDPE pipe that was installed via 17 Horizontal Directional Drilling #HDD sites and under 3 rivers. The City worked with Hazen and Sawyer (owner’s representative) and with the 2 MAB contractor members Murphy Pipeline Contractors and DAVID MANCINI & SONS, INC. to build this 7.5-mile force main.

👉🏽 Right of way clearing is often one of the first steps in pipeline construction, setting the stage for subsequent excavation and installation activities. 👉🏽 This process is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the pipeline route and preventing future access issues for inspection and repair. 830-202-5004 #pipeline #construction #maintenance #rightofway #ROW #oilandgasindustry

"Damage, Causes, and Consequences of Damage during Utility Tunnelling" – Free Webinar Join ISTT - International Society for Trenchless Technology Educational Webinar on Date: 2 July 2024 Time: 14:00 GMT, 10:00 US EST, 16:00 CEST #Utility #tunnelling, which includes #pipe #jacking and #microtunnelling, is becoming the predominant construction method for drainage pipes in metropolitan areas worldwide. This increase in popularity goes hand in hand with the demand for ever more challenging projects. This increases the risk of errors that can lead to damage to the pipe string. The ISTT Educational Webinar addresses "Damage, Causes, and Consequences of Damage during Utility Tunnelling". Reference is made to a large number of damage cases (RCA) in which I and STEIN Ingenieure GmbH were involved as experts. The experience gained has largely helped to update the German standards and regulations for pipe jacking. This #ISTT Educational Webinar is open to everyone.

Underground water pipe installation

The cutter suction dredger is currently performing dredging project. The cutter head is responsible for breaking up the material in the water and is used in conjunction with the dredging pipeline (discharge pipe + floats). #Dredging #CSD #HANSEL #Equipment #Project

Installed along the Jefferson Davis Memorial Highway (US-1) in Georgia, the High Velocity Ditch Check represents a major advancement in sediment control for channels. This innovative BMP is designed to control runoff velocity, minimize sediment transport, and help stabilize channels—all without the need for heavy equipment or extensive labor. www.siltsaver.com #bmp #erosioncontrol #siltfence #wattle #rockcheckdam #alternativebmp #infrastructure #construction #heavyequipment #excavator #dirtwork #dirtworld #operators #heavyequipmentlife #sitedevelopment #earthmoving #earthmovers #innovationconstruction #solarenergy #datacenters #sitedevelopment #oem #missioncritical #movingdirt #heavycivilindustry #heavycivilconstruction #bridge #abutment #construction #DOT #progress #heavycivil #facility #facilityconstruction #pipelineconstruction #pipelineindustry #pipewelding #pipeliner #culturematters #culture #midstream #engineering #projectmanagement #safety #safetyculture #permianbasin #delawarebasin #hdpe #hdpepipe #eaglefordshale #construction #constructionindustry #oilandgas #oil #oilandgasjobs #oilandgasindustry #oilfield #oilfieldservices #oilandgasservices #greatplacetowork #keepthefocus #engineer #epcprojects #energy #plantwork

PERFORMANCE PIPELINING, INC. is out providing Trenchless Solutions for customers that #fuel our Nation 🇺🇸 Our Team will always be there to #serve. 🚧 ASTM F1216 is a standard practice for the rehabilitation of existing pipelines and conduits using a method called Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP). This process involves inverting a resin-impregnated flexible tube into the existing conduit and curing it in place using hot water, steam, or a photoinitiated reaction. Once cured, the new pipe is continuous and tight-fitting, suitable for various gravity and pressure applications like sanitary sewers, storm sewers, and process piping. Extending the life span of the pipeline by 50 years or greater. #cipp #infrastructure #standards #pipelining

Clients call us when we need to drill into live pipelines or tanks. Then we show up with our machines and make new connections or bypass problems (like leaks) without interrupting operations. This is called hot tapping and line-stopping. Just yesterday, I peered into a manhole with our GM for Maintenance Konrad Nieuwenhuizen (who leads all the hot tap teams) to watch a sewage and stormwater pumping station leak like a sieve. Impossible to switch off the station and repair these old lines. So, we will drill into this line and establish a bypass for them. The users (inhabitants of this popular tourist town) won't even know. It's pretty cool stuff. And we are really good at it. In the past few years, we have drilled into pipelines and tanks that are big, that are small, that are thick and thin and brittle, that contain molten salt or hot steam, spewing sewage, think sludge, heavy oil, and light gas. That were in the desert or cramped between an entanglement of other lines, on busy industrial plants, hundreds of kilometres out of the way, or underwater - not many places we have not tapped. We also purchased several smaller competitors and pulled their further experience and expertise into our fold. Not only that, but we also started designing and fabricating our own machines and fittings, including nice gate valves (look at the middle pic). Along the way we developed some nice IP that are built into our equipment. If you are a looking for a solution to a make new connection, fix leak or a stuck valve, etc., and you cannot switch off the operations, then give us a shout. If you don't need these services, then just like the little photo collage I spent ten minutes banging together. My graphic designer is on leave, so I had to google how to do it.
