Orion took charge of a crucial pipeline remediation project for NuStar Energy in Corpus Christi, Texas. The focus was on lowering approximately 270 linear feet (LF) of a 12-inch pipeline with less than three feet of cover, and exposing approximately 75 LF of the line.

Our team engaged in hand jetting beyond the initial 270 LF of shallow pipeline elevation to attain the required three feet of cover. To manage the complexity, 12 pallets/slingbags of burlap bags were strategically placed along the excavation length.

Navigating shallow waters posed an additional challenge, requiring the use of shallow draft vessels. Orion's adaptability and resourcefulness in overcoming environmental challenges were evident throughout this project. The successful completion of the pipeline remediation initiative underscores Orion's commitment to effective pipeline management and expertise in navigating intricate logistical and environmental hurdles.
