The recent completion of the Murray River Horizontal Directional Drill (HDD) marks a huge milestone for Coastal Gaslink – the largest trenchless water crossing on the project has been completed with zero safety incidents. This 1.3 kilometre section of pipe weighs over 1.2 million pounds, and the 48-inch HDD signifies the largest of its kind for TC Energy and one of the longest in North America. Before work could even begin on-site, years of planning went into making sure everything went smoothly in coordination with our prime contractor Surerus Murphy Joint Venture (SMJV).
