Pipeline Construction

Construction equipment for the Wilmot pipeline is active again on the cabin property. This photo shows an excavator moving supplies along the pipeline route at the wetlands crossing near our cabin.



Silt fence is being install along the pipeline route through the cleared section of our woods.

Since this pipeline crosses both State Route 467 and Johnson Creek near Allis Hollow Equipment, this section of the pipeline will be bored out. At the top of the hill, in Sink's field, the silt fence has been installed at the exit location for a pipeline bore.



The pipeline boring will start on the south side of Johnson Creek, at the base of Harmony Hill and will proceed north under the creek and SR-467 and continue underground to Sink's field at the top of the hill. This pipeline bore is 1/2 mile long and when the boring is complete a 24 inch gas pipeline will be pulled back through the bore hole.

The following photo is a view of the pipeline route on Harmony Hill and shows construction equipment at the bottom of the hill near the location of the starting point for the pipeline boring.




This photo shows the pipeline boring equipment in the field next to Raglan Road (T738). The boring operation is being done by Carson & Roberts of Lafayette, NJ.
