Thanks to the resilience and hard work of marine crews in Newport News, Virginia, Garney and the James River Crossing (JRX) team set a world record for the longest pullback of 42-inch DR-11 pipe. For roughly 24 hours, crews pulled 5,700 feet of pipe under the Newport News shipping channel using a pipe pusher. This new technology allowed the team to overcome pull forces and help assist the million-pound drill rig that was stationary on land. Watch this video to see how the crew completed this record-breaking operation!
Huxted Trenchless is proud of our work with Garney! Still riding that feeling!!
Well Done. I am looking forward to working with the Garney Team in the future.
Congrats to the marine crews in VA, Garney, and JRX on this great success

1moOn behalf of Brierley Associates thanks to the entire JRX team. The video accurately shows the level of effort by all throughout the ~24-hour pipe pullback to make this world record operation successful with no HSE incidents. Brierley's role as HDD designers and geotechnical/geological advisors over 2 years was an important part of the process, and I am proud to have been onsite on the barge assisting throughout the pipe pullback process.
