Great to have accompanied project owner AFR-IX over recent weeks during an HDD landfall construction for the Medusa project, which was successfully completed on Friday in Marseille, France.
The 317-metre-long HDD, housing 4 x DN160 HDPE fibre optic cable ducts, will connect to the Medusa Submarine Cable System, a telecom corridor linking south European and north African countries.
Prior to construction, OPTIMUM supported the Medusa project team with validation of the landfall design and geotechnical risk analysis. Specialist trenchless engineers then monitored the HDD operations both remotely and onsite during the construction phase, monitoring drilling parameters and providing compliance control.
In-depth project knowledge, OPTIMUM’s international team and excellent cooperation with AFR-IX, made all the difference ; mission complete.
