BlueFox Engineering

Introduction

Parallel to most of Highway No. 2 lies several pipelines transporting products from refineries in the Edmonton area to distribution terminals in Calgary, including the Calgary International Airport.

On average, one of these pipelines transport around 7,700m3 of refined fuel products such as gasoline, diesel fuel, aviation fuel and heating fuel per day and is the main source of delivery for refined petroleum products in southern Alberta.

Along the route, major roadways, railways, intersections, watercourses, and environmentally sensitive locations, required installation without surface disturbance.

Solution

Utilizing 8 simultaneous HDD rigs up to 500,000lbs push/pull capacity and a 24 hour per day construction schedule, 96 major HDD crossings, totaling 53,411m were successfully completed after 12 months of construction.

BlueFox Engineering was retained to provide full time on-site HDD inspection, supervision, technical assistance and construction engineering support during execution of these crossings.

Conclusion

This included activities such as; risk mitigation while drilling, annular pressure monitoring, steering validation, verification of borehole condition prior to line pull, HDD compliance monitoring with contract, regulations, specifications and technical documents, shift reporting, technical support and acceptance of inspection and test protocols for progress payments.
