Direct Pipe

Mastering new options

Michels Canada has been using the Direct Pipe® method for trenchless pipeline rehabilitation services and installation of a prefabricated pipe longer than any of the other direct pipe contractors in Canada. This trenchless method combines elements of tunneling and horizontal directional drilling.  It is well suited for small sites, construction under highways, rail tracks and waterways, and in-ground conditions not ideal for HDD drilling.

Michels was the Prime Contractor on the FortisBC Coastal Transmission System Project in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia.  The 11 kilometre project consisted of 36-inch and 42-inch new pipe construction in a heavily urban environment.
