I guess I have to take some pics for you of the ROW and the pipe laid out...

Think as you may, but in cross county pipelining, there just aint much use for wirefed.

Looks real pretty seeing all that pipe up and down the rolling hills.

This one is short, just 5.5 miles, but its three seperate lines. Its a reroute of Kinder Morgans Mid Continent Express pipeline that ends in Joliet, Il. We are moving three individual sections of two 30" and one 36" lines.

A coal company in the area has found some huge deposits of lignite, and we are moving the lines so that they can mine the area.
