Name: Eastern Branch Pipeline
Owner: Onondaga County Water District
General Contractor: Northeast Remsco Construction
Microtunneling Sub Contractor: Northeast Remsco Construction
Pipe Size : 700 feet of 60" OD Permalok Steel Casing
   
 

Northeast Remsco completed the $2.7 million dollar project in early May.  Crews plan to complete final water main connections after the Labor day weekend.

The new pipeline was designed to serve as a water transmission main to replace the existing line inside the culvert that had become exposed.  The microtunneling portion of the project was performed with a Herrenknecht AVN 1200 to install the 700 feet of Permalok steel casing pipe in one drive.  Crews tunneled through soft silt and clay 3 feet below the surface with 25 feet of water under multiple sets of railroad tracks.
