Saddlehorn Pipeline

Farnsworth Group Inc. provided engineering services and construction observation for over 60 horizontal directional drills (HDDs) spanning a 550 mile 20” diameter pipeline.

The goal of the project was to provide additional crude oil capacity to storage tanks in Cushing, OK from sources in Colorado and Wyoming. Farnsworth Group’s services included direct observations of the drills during construction, which entailed live calculations to maintain client-specified tolerances, daily progress reports, and job books covering each crossing along the entire pipeline route. Additionally, Farnsworth Group reviewed the HDD designs for constructability, mechanical integrity and adherence to regulatory codes and client specifications.
