HDD & TRENCHLESS CROSSINGS:
-
Geotechnical evaluation of proposed directionally drilled pipeline crossings of creeks/rivers/wetlands/steep slopes.
-
Preliminary crossing profile and drill path development including depth of cover, entry and exit point locations, entry and exit angles, casing recommendations, drilling fluid and equipment considerations.
-
Access planning, test drilling equipment procurement and implementation of geotechnical investigations for trenchless crossings up to 2,000m in length, including surficial outcrop mapping, test borehole drilling and shallow geophysical surveys.
-
Test borehole logging, soil sampling and geological interpretation of subsurface conditions.
-
Geotechnical engineering support in all phases of the crossing construction from route and alignment planning to product pipe installation.
