Work Scope

Installation of approximately 57,000 LF (10.8 miles) of 16” steel

transmission pipeline with a planned MAOP of 720 psig. The pipeline begins with a tie-in at the Hwy 9 Regulator Station and travels north utilizing both road ROW and newly acquired 30’ to 50’ ROW through newly developed residential areas and newly widened roads. It then parallels a power line right-of-way, intersecting county water authority property, and terminating at Spot Road regulator station.

The new pipeline will include 8 HDD crossings and 10 Jack and Bore crossings. Major crossings include SR-9 (x2), Buford Dam Rd, SR-20, Bald Ridge Rd, Pilgrim Mill Rd, Lanier 400 and SR-306. Crews encountered large quantities of rock in HDDs and open cut installations.
