DC Water continues essential rehabilitation work on a key section of the Potomac Interceptor along Clara Barton Parkway—one of the region’s largest and most critical wastewater systems.

This time-lapse captures the sliplining process, where a new 72-in. pipe is installed inside an existing 78-in. pipeline originally placed into service in 1963. This upgrade strengthens a vital corridor that moves wastewater from the Dulles area to the Blue Plains facility, helping ensure reliable flow, system integrity, and long-term capacity for the region.

Projects like this highlight the importance of maintaining and upgrading infrastructure that millions of residents, businesses, and visitors depend on every day!

As we celebrate Flag Day, we’re proud to recognize the flags flying outside Akkerman, each one representing a country where we’ve had the opportunity to support projects and partnerships around the world.

From local communities to global job sites, each flag reflects the trust placed in Akkerman’s equipment, service, and commitment to quality in trenchless construction.

As they wave outside our facility, they serve as a reminder of the connections we’ve built—and the continued collaboration that drives infrastructure forward across the globe: https://www.akkerman.com/

Microtunneling is a highly specialized trenchless construction method that provides precise, controlled installation of underground infrastructure with minimal surface disruption.

Akkerman is the only North American manufacturer of both pilot tube and slurry microtunneling systems, designed to deliver accuracy and reliability across a wide range of ground conditions and project requirements.

This featured project, by Lametti & Sons, Inc., demonstrates how microtunneling supports safe, efficient infrastructure installation while minimizing impact at the surface.

Engineering & Construction Innovations, Inc. - ECI completed the Lake Elmo West Project in Lake Elmo, MN as part of MCES’s regional sewer expansion, adding nearly a mile of large-diameter sewer to serve Lake Elmo, Oakdale, and Woodbury.

Using an Akkerman SL74P MTBM with MT875K jacking frame, the team installed 74-in. OD steel casing in drives up to 1,350-LF. To reduce risk ahead of tunneling, an Akkerman 240A Guided Boring System was used to probe and identify potential obstructions.

The final segment, completed in July 2025, successfully expanded sewer capacity to support continued regional growth—another strong example of precision microtunneling and guided boring performance in demanding conditions!

Oil and natural gas account for more than half of global energy use, making pipeline networks a critical part of everyday life.

Akkerman trenchless solutions deliver a reliable, efficient approach to installing and maintaining this vital infrastructure. By limiting surface disruption, reducing settlement risk, and supporting work in environmentally sensitive areas, Akkerman technology helps ensure these networks continue to grow safely and effectively.

Todd Bear stopped by Akkerman today to learn more about our 2nd shift CNC Machinist opportunity.

It was a great opportunity to connect and share insight into the precision machining work that supports our equipment and manufacturing capabilities.

We appreciate his interest in joining the Akkerman team and taking the time to visit the facility!

In 1986, Akkerman produced the first of many 5000 Pump Units for long-time customer, Pacific Boring, Inc. of Caruthers, CA to conquer difficult project in Oklahoma.

Inspired by Dave Cline’s mentorship, Maynard Akkerman led the development efforts of the infamous pump unit design while supporting technical efforts in the field, including a 1,600-LF., 90-in. RCP crossing in Western Plains, OK.

Featured alongside Maynard Akkerman is Dave Cline of Pacific Boring while they visited TBMs in Japan. Photos like these serve as a reminder of the people and partnerships that laid the groundwork for where the industry is today, and the legacy that continues to guide our work into the future.

🔥 FILL CALIFORNIA’S RESERVOIRS 🔥

Available now from Akkerman—a highly sought after SLS-100 Sliplining System in mint condition and ready for immediate deployment.

This OEM maintained system was designed to rehabilitate 30 to 102-in. OD live sewers with safer, cleaner, and more efficient pipe installation with no bypass pumping requirements.

✔ Modular frame for up to 20-ft. pipe joints
✔ Install in either direction from one access pit
✔ Wireless remote control with LCD display
✔ Quad drive motors with synchronized travel
✔ 20,000-lb. pipe elevators
✔ Live remote access to system data and diagnostics
✔ Made in the USA

With aging infrastructure challenges growing nationwide, systems like the SLS-100 will accelerate rehabilitation of critical water transmission and reservoir infrastructure, especially in drought sensitive regions like California where water loss and downtime matter.

If your next rehabilitation project needs proven sliplining performance without new-build lead times, this system is ready to go: https://bit.ly/2Z8B7ee
