In section one, the route has been fully cleared and graded, and 72 per cent of the pipeline has been installed as of June 18th.
Section one was also the site of the Murray River Horizontal Directional Drill pipe installation, completed on June 11th. The 48 inch HDD is the largest of its kind for TC Energy, according to the monthly construction update.
A 1.3-kilometre section of pipe was pulled through the Murray River, one of the heaviest pipe pulls accomplished in North America, says Coastal GasLink.
“Workers navigated an additional challenge of steep slopes on both sides of this water crossing, requiring a higher angle of entry and exit for the HDD,” says a release.
