Transmission & Distribution Pipeline Relocation

Pipeline Relocation to Resolve Utility Conflicts Along Corridor

Weston & Sampson provided utility conflict identification and relocation plans as well as transmission and distribution pipeline installation for projects in support of NCDOT Roadway Improvement Project US 13/US 158 between Winton, North Carolina and Tarheel, North Carolina

Our team developed a set of preliminary plans for the relocation of approximately four miles of 12-inch transmission pressure steel pipeline (R-2507A) and 1 mile of 6-inch distribution pipeline (R-2583). The pipelines were in conflict with proposed grading, drainage, and new pavement along the project corridor, as the existing highway was widened from two lanes to four. Relocation of the gas line consisted of a combination of open trench and Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) methods to avoid wetland areas, lowland areas, and the interchange of US-13 and US-158. Work was performed on an accelerated schedule to comply with the Design Build Construction schedule.
