Progress Report:
The project has hit a milestone event with the completion of the horizontal direction drill under Macatawa River. Last week, Gabe’s completed the 44-inch reamer pass while K&R fused the 30-inch HDPE pipe in preparation of the pipe pullback. Saturday (Nov. 2) the pullback was successful, taking a total of 9 hours to complete.
Upcoming Work:
Pipe testing, site restoration, and demobilization of the drilling equipment are to occur this week. Connections at the Holland Area Water Reclamation Facility (HAWRF) are to be completed shortly. K&R also plans to complete the force main (FM) installation between Lakewood Blvd and James St in the coming months.
