As part of RTE\u2019s French-UK interconnection project, the dual trenchless crossing in Fr\u00e9nouville is now finished. Both 140 metre-long, 10-metre-deep, HDD crossings, passing under one of Normandy’s busiest rail routes, required precision control at every stage.<\/p>\n

OPTIMUM assigned specialist engineers from the document validation phase through to works completion, ensuring round the clock monitoring on site, day and night.<\/p>\n

Finalised in April 2020, the project was not only completed on time and in compliance with strict SNCF requirements, but also whilst preserving the health and safety of the dedicated engineers who worked despite the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n
