Last month we spoke about our pipeline construction Pre-Planning and Proposal Stage. This month, we're focusing on the Execution Stage, where we take everything we prepared and put it into action. This is often the busiest Stage in any project, with many factors to consider and implement, including: ➡️ Development, submission, and adoption of project-specific planning ➡️ Temporary/permanent access and crossing construction ➡️ Topsoil removal and sequestration ➡️ Water channel management ➡️ Hauling, stringing, bending, gauging, welding, and coating of all pipe This frequently has to take place over hundreds of kilometres of land.

Don't miss the cover story of Municipal Water Leader's November/December issue featuring an exclusive interview with Henry Goff, VP and GM of Permalok® Corporation, A Northwest Pipe Company. Henry discusses the groundbreaking Permalok Radial Bending Joint (RBJ) technology – the first steel pipe engineered for microtunneling along a curve. The Permalok RBJ offers a groundbreaking solution for trenchless projects in urban areas and challenging terrains, where existing infrastructure and natural obstacles pose significant hurdles. In this interview, Henry emphasizes how customer feedback is a catalyst for innovation at Northwest Pipe, driving our commitment to boosting product performance and efficiency in the field: "The RBJ combines the advantages of steel pipe with the reliability, speed, and consistency of our press-fit Permalok joints while adding the flexibility to steer a tunnel’s curve…This results in a smaller construction footprint, lower installation costs, less environmental impact, and more precision when tunneling over long distances,” Read the full interview to see how the Permalok RBJ is reshaping the trenchless industry: https://hubs.ly/Q02X2tQh0 Water Strategies LLC #permalok #trenchless #innovation

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.

Through tailoring custom-engineered solutions across diverse projects from buoyancy control and pipeline supports, to coating protection, we've tackled everything from the largest pipelines in the Western Hemisphere to the challenging terrain of the Athabasca oil sands. This team in Illinois faced the challenge of installing a 16-inch pipeline under a railway through fractured flagstone, where conventional protection methods like concrete coating or wood lagging weren’t enough to handle the abrasive rock bore. Designed to absorb abrasion and impact through deformation, PipeDefender® engineered pipeline lagging delivered superior protection taking on any damage while fully protecting the pipe as it passed through.

"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.
