This paper reviews the design of a directional drilling project by Tennessee Pipeline Company, to cross Chillipitin Creek in Texas. This pipeline was part of an overall pipeline repair and upgrade. Stream erosion had left the existing pipeline exposed in the channel of the creek. The paper describes the drilling equipment selected and the methods used in tracking the drilling operation throughout its completion. The Texas Railroad Commission requires a minimum of 45 feet of cover between the bottom of the stream and the pipeline. The methods used for engineering this crossing are described.
