Underground Utility Construction
The Bear Cut underground utility construction project consisted of two directional drills. One is installed approximately 1,400 linear feet of 20” water main across West Bride via horizontal directional drilling.
The second HDD was 3,000 linear feet of 20” Water main across Bear Cut Bridge on the Rickenbacker Causeway in Key Biscayne, FL. DMSI pipe tapped into the existing, allowing for this relocation of the bridge superstructures to be reconstructed.
The proposed water main was fully constructed before decommissioning the existing system. Extensive public outreach was performed to maintain all operations.
