| Abstract: |
Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) has played a major role in allowing construction of a raw water delivery system project for the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in South and North Dakota. A record setting 1,463 m (4,800 LF) bore under a dam-retained section of the Grand River, Oahe Lake, of 600 mm (24-inch) Fusible C- 905® pipe has defined an early success on the 110 million dollar project. King Contracting, Inc. (King) completed the bore which represents the longest bore ever done using 600 mm (24-inch) Fusible PVCTM pipe (FPVCP) to date. This crossing represents a little less than 1.5 km of the ∼100 km (62 miles) raw and treated water transmission pipeline delivery system, which when completed, will provide water to the Standing Rock Reservation. |
