The Capital Regional District (CRD) of Victoria is constructing a new wastewater treatment facility. A pipeline was required to cross the Victoria Harbour between Ogden Point and McLoughlin Point. Michels and CCI were subcontracted to deliver the design build approach to the crossing.

Over the last three decades of a constantly improving and evolving industry, one of the main topics of conversation consistently at the forefront of the Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) industry is Guidance/ Steering Systems. Being able to accurately locate and guide downhole drills is not only important to ensure safe separation from existing utilities, it is also key in ensuring designed radius specifications are adhered to.

Slip bore and guided slip bore trenchless pipeline installation is preferred by Engineers. These methods of installation are less prone to creating subsurface deformations when completed in favorable geotechnical conditions. Settlement of the above-ground facility being crossed is not expected.

In 2017, Pembina Pipeline Corporation and CCI Inc were awarded Project of the Year for the Athabasca River Parallel HDD Installations Project.
