TECHNICAL FACILITY EXPANSION
PROJECT SCOPE
• 350 DRILLED BOREHOLES (400 FT)
• GROUND LOOP INSTALLATION (140,000 LF)
• CONCRETE GROUT PUMPING
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Morris-Shea drilled 350 geothermal boreholes for the installation of 140,000 linear feet of ground loop heat exchanger piping at a technical facility in Central Indiana. Morris-Shea mobilized two advanced drill rigs, a CPT test unit and other support equipment to the plant expansion job site. The team drilled 4.5 inch diameter boreholes to a depth of 400 feet from drilling grade. Geothermal construction began in mid-July and was completed on schedule on November 24, 2025
