Pipeline Construction

The pipeline welding crew was back at our cabin property to start welding the 24 inch pipe that will be pulled back through the bore hole that goes under Route 467 and Johnson Creek.



The 24 inch pipe has a much thicker wall thickness (0.500" vs. 0.375") than the 20 inch pipeline. The thicker wall thickness will require more welding.



Prior to welding the pipe joints must be aligned with a pneumatic tool that will expand to center and hold the two sections of pipe.
