Abstract: New Jersey Natural Gas Company utilized the state-of-the-art method known as horizontal directional drilling for six pipeline construction projects during the summer of 1987. Five were 12-inch submarine crossings, the longest of which was 3,000 feet. One was 850 feet of ID-inch pipe with the 16-inch casing installed beneath the New Jersey TUrnpike to accommodate the highways widening to 10 lanes. The horizontal directional drilling method is used for drilling underground inverted arcuate paths and installing production pipe therein. Installation can be beneath rivers, bays, highways, or other surface obstacles such as mountains without dredging, digging, trenching, or otherwise altering the obstacle. Directional drillings have many advantages from cost savings to convenience to preserving the environment. More importantly, this method is easier for obtaining construction permits, takes less time to install, and is maintenance free after installation.
