Pipeline Construction

Lots of activity on both pipelines today.

Wilmot Pipeline
With the hydrostatic testing complete on the 24 inch pipeline, the water used during testing was transferred to the 20 inch pipeline by pushing the water with a pipeline "pig". The "pig" was removed from the pipeline by opening the door at the end of the "pig launcher".

The water that was transferred to the 20 inch pipeline is now being pushed through the pipeline using a "pig" and compressed air.




Wesauking Pipeline
Work started on positioning the supports for the Wesauking Pipeline 12 inch "pig launcher". Once the 12 inch "pig launcher" is installed the finial section of the Wesauking Pipeline can be connected.



The reclamation of the Wesauking Pipeline right-of-way is moving along with most of the reseeding complete on the east side of Joyce Road.
