BT Construction and the City of Northglenn knew that shutting down traffic on E 120th Ave to install the Force Main would mean major traffic impacts to the community, which is why we decided the best option would be to tunnel underneath the road. This picture is what the inside of a bore pit looks like. The steel casing pipe is where the new force main pipe will be installed is the coming months.

Thank you to the amazing neighbors who have brought our crews cold drinks, doughnuts and energy drinks! We appreciate your generosity.

Since underground utilities are all buried after installation and no longer visible, we use two lines of defense when it comes to protecting them from future excavations. The first line of defense is tracer wire. Utility locators are able to connect their devices to the tracer wire which then creates a current which allows the locator to detect the location of the utility. It is then marked out with spray paint on the ground. If the utility fails to get located or locate marks are not visible, the second line of defense is the warning tape that is placed a few feet above the utility and would be found while digging (as pictured above). Both of these methods help to ensure that utilities are not damaged and prevent service outages.
