Arceneaux Wilson & Cole Record Breaking Direct Pipe Project

[@chaplainand1]

Stunning accomplishment. I spent about four years in the late 60s working road construction in Michigan. My oldest brother worked for Shell Pipeline in Michigan 20 years installing and maintaining pipelines. One of my sons is a pipeline welder in the NY PA region. This was an amazing project.

8:17 Expert knowledge and understanding = no cry babies. Nice!

[@swampratt36]

Wow , impressive ! 780' of 54" with a 72" richmond was my record bore in 1987 .

[@AdamSmith-uv6kr]

Pretty awesome. Working in industrial repair I can only imagine the headaches stresses and killer deadlines these men and women work through.

[@TheRebelOne.]

What a fantastic achievement. Cutting edge engineering at its finest!

[@79noel]

I pass bye that exact machine every day and it's awesome looking up close.

[@theatheist4519]

79noel yea right , and I suppose your grandpa works for them too? Man if I had a dollar for every 12 yr old who’s grandfather did something on some video I’d be rich. Go tell it on the mountain

[@santopino2546]

Why do you feel the need to behave like this?

[@CoreyGibson72]

Herrenknecht builds the the machine that thrust the pipe. It is owned and operated by Laney Directional Drilling. Laney never got a mention in the video but that is who installed the pipe.

[@matthewgreen8276]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/bX60coJqoa-Kn5o It was mentioned.

[@TheNormanmurk]

The guys who do the real work never get a mention in any job.

[@kdmellor]

This is amazing stuff!

[@JonDingle]

Very impressive and it just shows how great things can be achieved! Due to planning restirctions, consultations, objections from the public, eco groups and such like, here in the UK it would probably take five years just to get approval!

[@GULF-BANK]

Great video and description

[@freekingawwsome]

Nic job. Thank you for the share

[@lavejim11]

Wow..this is my hometown...had no idea

[@abdulhaki7652]

Great this is machines, Bravo

[@sorincoarfa3584]

Great project

[@cs_fl5048]

Impressive.

[@rogerhazen3664]

Man this shit is so cool. Wish i could be part of it

[@pimpshyt101]

Bad ass these fools are sick as fuck

[@keithrichards4513]

WoW!

[@prinzikenna.o6577]

I trust the machines Germany builds.

[@dimchukwuma9930]

Americans built this one

[@namtran-pe6sc]

Wow.

[@ScottishNSRailFan]

Amazing

[@KillingthisLane]

Bet that cost some big money.. Pretty cool to watch..

[@theatheist4519]

Amazing technology! Didn’t realize they had progressed to anything of this scale with DP. I’ve seen 12” high pressure water done and thought that great just 2 years ago. Soon we’ll be able to do auto and rail tunnels (wouldn’t it be amazing to be able to do tunnels like those under the English Channel and the Hudson River? In just a couple of months vs years?

[@damonlemasters3424]

I guess you never heard of a tbm

[@irgski]

I’ve heard of “laying some pipe” but this is ridiculous!

[@santopino2546]

ridiculous or incredible?

[@theoriginalchefboyoboy6025]

I ound a bag of Bentonite by the side of the road one time. Said "mortar" on the bag so I mixed some up and all I got was this "mud" seemingly useless for home use. Then I read up and found out how and what it's for.

[@janstolk486]

how do they steer that head ?

[@cdtelting]

Incredible. I am wondering what would happen if the drill head needed to be replaced or if it ran into a hard rock bolder. To replace the drill in the 1 out of 100th chance I can imagine backing out the pipe a bit and then someone needing to crawl down the pipe. The latter I suppose could be avoided by sonar done the entire length of the route but much of it was actually covered by buildings.

[@hamishcampbell4578]

They wouldn't send someone down hole. Probably drag it all back out and start again with a new game plan

[@fuffoon]

They make it look so easy and it's not.

[@robertkoo234]

What would be the estimated cost of such a project?

[@ryanz7447]

Around $2,500 per foot.

[@JL-rx6hl]

why work in such a confined area when there was a huge field the other side of the main road??

Aint nothing finer than a pipeliner! Russ Fischer could have run this in his sleep!

[@climatechange-aerobservato2891]

We need to open the Mbita Dam to enable the natural water flow btw. Winam Gulf and Lake Victoria .Google Map Mbita Kenya see Dam and contact Prof,Dr.Ezekiel Okemwa / Thank you
