Dry Gulch HDD Crossing:
a challenging pullback operation
The spread 5B on the Trans Mountain Expansion Project presented challenges
in a rugged area of British Columbia, Canada, characterized by extreme
geomorphological conditions, typical of mountainous regions. The pipeline route
intersected the Dry Gulch channel at KP 993, a deep canyon formed as a
glacial meltwater channel
