Contributing to France\u2019s decarbonization strategy means taking on exceptional technical challenges.<\/strong><\/p>\n A priority trenchless project for RTE \u2013 just finished in eastern France – had it all: a river, a canal, a road, high-speed rail lines and wetlands… all on the same drill path.<\/strong><\/p>\n With only a few months to develop the solution, the constraints were tough:<\/p>\n After assessing six scenarios, the selected solution was a 348-meter-long HDD crossing, designed with casings on each end, an intersect under the canal and a geomembrane to isolate the drilling operation from the drinking water. With drilling beneath railways, safety remains the highest priority:<\/p>\n When unexpected ground behaviour was detected, our response was immediate: more people, more modelling, more analysis, additional alert systems, and constant dialogue with both RTE and the SNCF to support our client in making informed decisions without compromising safety.<\/p>\n A great example of what HDD projects are really about. Not just drilling. Solving problems, giving technical expertise, and keeping critical infrastructure moving safely.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Contributing to France\u2019s decarbonization strategy means taking on exceptional technical challenges<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":10557,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[80],"class_list":["post-10562","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-electricity-en","tag-hdd-en"],"yoast_head":"\n\n
