Pipeline Boring

The responsible development of natural gas from shale formations requires  pipelines to transport natural gas, associated hydrocarbons and water. Permanent pipelines are most often installed by excavating a trench and burying the pipe several feet below the surface. Some situations require a trenchless installation method known as “pipeline boring.” Examples include boring under highways, railways [...]

Water Pipelines

These recommended practices address relevant considerations and guidelines for Water Pipelines and they support the Marcellus Shale Coalition (MSC) guiding principles. The responsible development of natural gas from shale formations involves both the use of fresh water and the return of water from underground formations. Water is often transported by pipeline to facilitate its initial [...]
