Working closely with its project management and engineering firm, Project Consulting Services (PCS), Mirage has designed the international crossing for its 36-inch natural gas pipeline. This 36-inch pipeline, named the Concho line, will be a bi-directional line initially transporting gas from the United States into Mexico. The 36-inch crossing is designed to be approximately 1,000 ft. long with a 52-inch diameter bore under the Rio Grande River. The bore will be a minimum of 15 feet under the lowest point of the bottom of the river. The crossing will be near the city of Progreso, Texas in Hidalgo County.
