I want to know: What are the huge pipes near the McCullough Bridge for?
Saturday, June 14, 2008 | No comments posted.
Q: What are the huge pipes stacked on the vacant land near the McCullough Bridge in North Bend?
A: The pipes aren’t being used locally for any big projects. Instead, they’ll be used to carry water and sewage through an unknown area in South America.
Located on property owned by the Al Pierce Co. on the north end of North Bend, and leased by Ocean Terminals Co., there are about 300 of the PVC pipes. Each is about three inches thick, five-feet in diameter and about 50 feet long, said Ingvar Doessing, the manager of Jones Stevedoring Co. in North Bend.
“(They’re) water pipes that are going to be shipped to South America,” Doessing said.
He will be loading the pipes on a ship, expected to arrive next week at the Ocean Terminals Co. dock.
Pat Goll, a yard manager for Ocean terminals, said he knew the pipes are going to South America, but he was unaware of their intended use or who owns them. He said they were made in Arizona and Nevada and transported here. Despite what some people might be speculating, Goll said the huge pipes have nothing to do with the proposed liquefied natural gas project on the North Spit.
