This was a $65 million project, which entailed constructing a new state-of–the-art
administration building for Indianapolis’ State Museum. Miles of conduit and cables
where needed to connect the two facilities, and because the two buildings were
separated by a 200 ft. canal and roadway, the networking connection posed several
challenges to the construction crew. However, despite the severe angle of the bore
and the extreme stress placed on the conduit, 30 sticks of Schedule 40 Bore-Gard,
each 200 ft. long, was successfully pulled through the bore at one time.

Above Left: A 200 ft. bore under a canal and roadway was needed to connect the Indiana
State Museum with the new Administration Building. Above Right: Carlon Bore-Gard has a
65 degree bend radius making it flexible enough to be pulled around a building.

Above Left: A 36” backreamer
was used to pull the 30 sticks of
Bore-Gard through the bore.

bove Right: Twenty-Six 4” Bore-Gard
conduits and four 4” Boreable Multi-Gard
ducts, each 200 ft. long, are being pulled
through a 200 ft. long bore.
