As of April, Huxted Tunneling has been awarded a project for the City of North Miami Beach, which was planned to involve the installation of 335 feet of 54" OD Permalok steel casing pipe for a 36" water main. The bores will cross four CSX railroad tracks and I-95 using Iseki microtunneling equipment in a single drive, 26 foot deep. Construction is expected to begin during the second quarter of 2006. Huxted was delayed on the Little Econ River crossing, due to a differing site condition, after installing 600 feet of the 1,620 feet 66" Permalok steel casing. The final drive, a 350-foot run to install 66" Permalok, was completed during the delay on the river crossing. The project is now scheduled to be completed by the second quarter 2006.
