Pipeline Construction

The warm/wet Winter weather is creating some additional problems for the pipeline construction ... MUD!

The "Ditch Witch" used for installing silt fence has become another victim of our clay soil.


An access road to the pipeline is being constructed next to the driveway to our cabin. This temporary access road is being constructed with planking placed over the muddy soil.



A CAT-D8 dozer clears the topsoil from the pipeline right-of-way near our cabin.

This helps prevent soil, debris, and other pollutants from washing into nearby waterways or storm drains. Silt Fence are essential for compliance with environmental regulations
