Gabe’s was the Prime Contractor on this project for AT&T, which needed to cross under the Wisconsin River to move out of the way for a major DOT project. Their team performed all buoyancy calculations on the 16” HDPE and deployed the appropriate buoyancy method to complete the crossing. We then used our HDD rig to pull 2,995 LF bundle of (6)-2” conduits within the 16”.
Gabe’s crew dealt with several challenges on this site. First, the formation itself was inconsistent — a combination of rock, soil, and cobble. This required them to use specialized steering techniques to maintain a straight path across the river. Additionally, Gabe’s completed this project in the middle of a Wisconsin winter, which necessitated a cold-weather package for both crew and equipment.
