Despite the grey skies, OPTIMUM was delighted to accompany GRT Gaz last week during the successful installation of its 575m-long DN100 pipeline in Lozanne, near Lyon.
The HDD crossing, which drilled through basalt rock and across fault lines, passed underneath housing, an equestrian centre, a road as well as a river, which will be restored to its original state. Engineered by OPTIMUM from the outset, the project would have been impossible to complete using conventional trenched techniques.
OPTIMUM accompanied GRTgaz from A to Z, from the feasibility studies (G1 PGC, G2 PRO), through the soil investigations (G2 AVP), the purchasing and tender assistance (G2 DCE), and then full-time assistance onsite (G4) for the fortnight’s drilling works.
Project completed on time and on budget ; great team work throughout.
