Direct Pipe
When site or permitting conditions make other methods impossible, we’re confident in implementing this unique, environmentally friendly, and capable technology with little risk of fracout.
What is Direct Pipe?
We deploy this advanced trenchless method to simultaneously tunnel and thrust the pipe, seamlessly filling the hole as it advances. This approach offers a highly efficient, and single-pass solution in challenging subsurface conditions.
Benefits of Direct Pipe
Direct Pipe offers distinct benefits by harnessing the advantages of microtunneling techniques and surface launch capabilities of HDD. It excels when navigating beneath levees, sensitive environmental areas, or challenging subsurface conditions.
Record of Success
The Aquaschicola Creek crossing in Pennsylvania was our Direct Pipe debut in 2013, and we've continued to pioneer this technology with the longest span by any North American contractor and the record for North America's two longest crossings.
Using the Direct Pipe method, a 4,900-foot-long, 42-inch-diameter steel pipe was seamlessly installed, creating a crucial link for a natural gas transmission pipeline.
Electrical conduits seamlessly link Coconut Grove substation to the Simpson substation to increase reliability of an existing power grid.
