Hallen Construction completed the installation of a 30″ steel gas transmission main for National Grid in Brooklyn, NY. After 6 weeks of preparation and nearly a month ahead of schedule, a pipeline was pulled under the ground and across Paerdegat Basin by using the directional drill method of trenchless installation.

This project is in Brownsville, Brooklyn NY and is the first phase of a five-year project that begins in the Brownsville area of Brooklyn and terminates at a gate station in Greenpoint, Brooklyn NY. The purpose of this project is to increase system reliability and operational flexibility within National Grid’s existing transmission system.

Hallen Construction was contracted to spearhead the excavation and installation of about 68 miles of pipe, which originated in Sayreville, New Jersey and terminated in Hicksville, NY. The purpose of this massive undertaking was to run conduit and DC electric lines underground so that Long Island can benefit from additional electricity gleaned from the South Atlantic Grid in New Jersey.

The Bronx Metering and Regulating station is the termination of a 37-mile pipeline that begins in Northport, NY and runs through the Long Island Sound until it makes landfall again in the Hunts Point Area of the Bronx. The construction of this station was the last phase of a project that upgraded the capacity of the entire Iroquois Pipeline which originates at the Canadian Border. The Bronx facility allows Con Edison to deliver this gas from Canada to the metropolitan area.
