Great idea. Just in time for the reopening of schools. What could go wrong?

Why does it take 5 months to lay some pipe and cable under a road?

The stack of conduit starts about 25' deep, then comes up from there(multiple conduits). In this case, they will be tunneling under railroad tracks.

Still not convinced that the incompetent idiots need 5 months to dig a trench and run some conduit. We aren’t using shovels and baskets here.

The incompetence and idiocy is hard to believe until witnessed. Ask me how I know.

The usual utilities, gas, electric, water, and sewage.
Everything is pretty much finished as far as the conduit install goes. The R/R crossing is the final hurdle. Once crossed, they will tie into the Nebel St. lines eventually ending up at the new transfer station which I don't think has been built yet(judging by the sparse reporting).

This is what happens when the contracts go to the cheapest bidder!! No one wants to work hard and our taxes pay for the crews to just drink coronas on the job

That should be interesting. What could possibly go wrong?
(Project engineer Murphy in charge - same guy who built the first Silver Spring Metro station.)

That's the way the whole project has been done. There's no room to run all that pipe horizontally/side by side. Not with all the other utilities down there. We're not talking about just a couple pipes.

My concern was the weight/vibration from the trains running overhead. You couldn't pay me enough to go into that situation.

They'll probably do the stretch directly under the track pneumatically with a piercing tool.
No. They would use either Jack and Bore or Horizontal Directional Drilling.

Hey, just wait til they decide to build a bridge over the RR tracks: https://mocoshow.com/blog/mcdot-req...-bridge-at-csx-train-tracks-on-randolph-road/
Umm, isn't that what happened last year?

Just a friendly reminder. Westbound Randolph road closes today(or tomorrow)between Nebel St. and Parklawn Dr for the next 6 months.
And it's a complete clust3rF@cK! Avoid the area if at all possible.

I feel bad for United Gun Shop. There’s no way their business isn’t going to be affected by this.
My buddy is also dreading this. He’s about a half mile from there on Randolph.
