00Approximately 2,900 feet
of the pipelines will be installed as a bundle inside a 54-inch casing
that will be installed using microtunneling methods. The installation
of the carrier pipe bundle must be carefully controlled to maintain the
grade of the 10-inch disposal pipeline. Approximately 1,500 feet of the
10-inch disposal line will be installed separately using pilot tube microtunneling
methods. Microtunneling methods are being used to avoid disturbance to
surface facilities along the alignment such as Union Pacific Railroad’s
mainline tracks, UP’s Container Terminal Facility, and Commonwealth
Edison’s transmission lines.
