Proud to have accompanied HDI – HORIZONTAL DRILLING INTERNATIONAL for the installation of two 634m and 621m long HDD crossings under the Vridi canal in the Ivory Coast; the project is now successfully complete.<\/p>\n

Installing the cables using trenchless HDD, rather than via overhead pylons, will ensure Abidjan\u2019s electricity supply is maintained no matter how large the ships passing through the canal to and from the newly expanded port.<\/p>\n

Drilling through the coastal sands and brackish groundwater called for careful monitoring of drilling parameters and fluid. Thanks to good local knowledge, OPTIMUM established the geotechnical model, validated the HDD design, and conducted breakout mitigation modelling before works began. A dedicated engineer then headed to Abidjan to support onsite teams during the critical pilot hole drilling operations.<\/p>\n

Great team work !<\/p>\n
