CATAWBA RIVER STEELE CREEK FORCE MAIN

Huxted Trenchless was contracted to complete the Catawba River Steele Creek Force Main project.

The project consisted of a 1,305 foot trenchless crossing via horizontal directional drill under the Catawba River for the installation of 30” DR11 HDPE pipe that will serve as a sewer force main. The project helped to connect the growing populations of York County and the town of Fort Mill with the Rock Hill Wastewater Treatment Plant.

The crew overcame numerous challenges including difficult ground conditions consisting of cobbles, boulders, and solid rock with strengths of up to 30,000 PSI to complete the project in just 37 days.
