Although this auger boring crossing is relatively short, its impact is far-reaching. The 30-metre-long structure will allow GRDF to expand its biomethane initiatives \u2014 turning organic waste into biofuel \u2014 and marks another important step in energy transition.<\/strong><\/p>\n When the window to bore under a railway line is tight, having a specialised trenchless engineer onsite who TRULY understands the project is crucial. Geotechnical decisions can be made in real-time to minimise downtime, while ensuring compliance with SNCF requirements. GRDF, therefore, commissioned an OPTIMUM engineer to be present onsite day and night.<\/p>\n OPTIMUM has supported project owner GRDF at every step of this trenchless crossing beneath the Paris\u2013Cherbourg railway line: not only feasibility studies and design engineering, but also supervising ground investigations, constitution and validation of the SNCF dossier, overseeing monitoring of the railway platform, and finally, supervising construction.<\/p>\n Crossing construction was completed according to schedule, with no impact on train traffic or disturbance to surrounding farmland.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Despite it’s relatively short length, this auger boring crossing will have a far-reaching impact, marking another important step in energy transition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6785,"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":[47],"tags":[51],"class_list":["post-6789","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-oil-gas-en","tag-auger-boring-en"],"yoast_head":"\n
