The
following illustrations are from the Penn Township Waste Water Force Main project
in Chester County, PA. The project's total scope of work included the installation
of approximately 4,000 linear feet of 6" HDPE pipe (99% of the pipe was
installed using the directional drilling method), 2 Air-Release Manholes,
and connection to the treatment plant.

We
are now going to start at the exit pit and follow the drill path back to the drill
and along the way view the terrain that we drilled underneath. This is the same
bore mentioned in the "Bore Planning" page
of the website. 525' of 6" HDPE was installed underneath the Northbound and
Southbound lanes of PA Rt. 1, a creek, and approximately 260' of woodland in Jennersville,
PA.
