Scope Of Work
Directional drilling and installation of a 1,200-ft PVC water main pipe, including portions under the Annisquam River for the City of Gloucester, MA.
“It’s a very cutting edge approach,” said the senior project manager hired by the city. “It’s a very progressive way to get utilities into the ground.” …The new, giant water main will serve some 70 percent of Gloucester’s residents – including everyone on the city’s island side of the river, and should continue to carry water from Bond Hill to residents for at least 200 years, according to city water engineer Larry Durkin. That’s right, 200 years – nearly double the age of many of the pipes city crews have had to service in the last decade.”
