Project Spotlight: Installation of New Gas Main

Published on Back To Index

One of our newer projects in Elkhart, Indiana, involved the installation of new gas main in a subdivision. The new main will increase capacity for 40 new homes as the subdivision grows.

When the crew got to the site, the first step was to make sure the land was sloped for the proper drainage and alignment of the gas main. Hydro excavation was utilized to reduce the chance of injuries and minimize damage to existing utilities.

The crew installed 3,100 feet of corrosion-resistant three-inch plastic distribution gas main, known for its flexibility and durability. Once the new main was successfully installed, the crew ensured all the gas
main was captured digitally through the Trimble Unity system. This improved efficiency and ensured
compliance with industry regulations.

Using modern materials and the newest technology, InfraSource helped decrease the likelihood of power
outages for residents as well as safety concerns.
