Tackling Dual Crossings

Superintendent: Carlton Loftin

Location: Katy, Texas

Length: 2,796 feet

2,796 feet of pipe needed to be installed in an urban area for a midstream operator. The project involved two horizontal directional drilling (HDD) crossings, one under the Brazos River and the other under Interstate 10.

The project presented two primary challenges.

1. Complex Geological Conditions

The Brazos River required precise execution and monitoring, as there were layers of sand and gravel that could impact operations.

2. Dual-Crossing Logistics

Completing both a major river crossing and a large interstate crossing consecutively required meticulous planning to minimize potential delays.

MAXX HDD successfully completed both crossings with a DD-440 rig, streamlining operations and staying on schedule.
