Drinking Water - Transmission - Chicago - 90-inch Water Main
Burns & McDonnell provided engineering services for the relocation of a 90-inch water transmission main for the City of Chicago. The existing 90-inch water transmission main runs directly beneath Runway 18L/36R of O'Hare International Airport and conflicts with proposed airport improvements.
Proper routing and environmental process of pipelines eases permitting, and saves time, money, and future maintenance hassles. Directional drilling, tunneling and no-dig rehabilitation and replacement expertise minimize surface disturbance.

Burns & McDonnell offers a full spectrum of water transmission services, including:

  • Route analysis and selection
  • Alternative materials evaluation
  • Hydraulic transcient analysis
  • Horizontal directional drilling
  • Tunneling
  • Pipeline inspection and condition assessment
  • Main replacement
  • Public involvement
  • Environmental assessment
  • Permitting
