Joining the show to share insights into this ambitious endeavor are Jordan Carrier, Executive Vice President, and Matt McKinnon, Senior Project Manager, both from Garney Construction.The project involved a record-setting horizontal directional drill (HDD) to install a 42-inch HDPE pipe over 5,700 linear feet, connecting two sides of the James River in Virginia. This feat pushed the boundaries of HDD technology and required meticulous planning, execution, and collaboration between various stakeholders.Key discussion points include the importance of cross-departmental collaboration, the role of design-build delivery, the challenges posed (and overcome), and the benefits of water reuse to the region.
