Overcoming Tunnel Challenges  for Houston's NETL Pipeline

February 6, 2023

Accessible, clean water is one of the most essential resources for a community.  That’s why the City of Houston embarked on an ambitious, multi-year plan to increase water capacity for its growing population.  An integral part of the city’s plan is the construction of the Northeast Transmission Line (NETL), a massive pipeline that will increase water availability while minimizing flooding.  As with any project of this size in such a densely populated area, many challenges needed to be overcome throughout the design and construction process.  

HVJ takes special pride in being part of projects impacting so many community members.  That’s why we were proud to provide services for this tunnel project.  The tunnel’s location under the IH-69 freeway, between freeway bridge columns, and unstable soil conditions required extensive evaluations and planning to ensure the tunnel could be installed safely and effectively.
