Great to be in Leipzig last week for another successful DCA Congress, where the theme was “The importance of HDD in energy transition”. Trenchless engineers, drilling contractors and suppliers from around Europe once again came together to discuss current and future industry issues and technical advances.
Of note was Maxime Aera (OPTIMUM) and Carsten Brueckner’s (BM Drilling) presentation of the record-breaking Chira River HDD project in Peru, which detailed how the team overcame environmental constraints as well as the specific challenges of completing 2 x 2000m crossings in soft soil conditions to successfully finish the project ahead of schedule.
It was great to meet with colleagues from countries that were underrepresented until now, including France. This increasingly popular annual event really is a unique pan-European knowledge sharing opportunity.
Looking forward to next year in Barcelona !
