Huxted Trenchless installed approximately 2,752 LF of 62.5-inch OD welded steel pipe by microtunneling, completed over six separate drives for the I-4 Downtown Tampa Interchange.

Ground conditions consisted mostly of silt and sand. The crew managed two key challenges: a congested work area in close proximity to heavy traffic, and a high groundwater table.
