Supporting project owner ENEDIS at year end for the successful completion of a 340-metre-long, fully curved, HDD to connect the newly built Fauvernay datacentre on the outskirts of Dijon.
The drill path crossed clay / marl soils under the A39 motorway and the high-speed railway line between Dijon and the Swiss border. Limited access, a nearby road bridge, local housing and a 13-metre difference between the entry and exit points, called for close monitoring of drilling parameters and full-time onsite inspection.
Prior to the drilling works, ENEDIS commissioned OPTIMUM to draft tender documents for the project and to provide independent technical expertise during the drilling contractor selection process. This (G2 DCE) mission complete, the collaboration continued with a dedicated OPTIMUM engineer present onsite throughout the drilling operations.
Congratulations to everyone involved for their commitment to the project.
