Pipeline Now Also Buried on the Floodplain

Unfortunately, I was wrong - seems to be no problem to submerge the pipes totally under water. Note the dark, almost black swamp muck indicating that the soil is soaked with water for a substantial part of the year.

 Now only the 10 pipes to go through the woods, under Beaver Creek and up the bluff are lined up next to the newly buried pipes.



 Here is the end of the buried pipes. You can see the 2 stakes shown later that indicate the direction of the connecting piece.
 And the PE pipe to bring the flare gases and vapors to Witt Farm.
 I hope they will not do too bad of a clearcut to put the pipes through the woods - and I am really curious how they will put the pipes under the creek.

  1. I've watched pipes like this get put under roads rivers etc. Pretty cool machine that uses a lot of trig to drill a perfect angle under whatever the obstacle is. What diameter are these pipes?
