Supporting RTE in its network-upgrade programme requires not only equipment but also precision engineering.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Beneath a five-way road junction in Lille, a 3-metre\u2011diameter wastewater pipe dominated the underground space. It was impossible to move and impossible to bypass from the surface.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Trenchless works were the only viable way forward, and OPTIMUM\u2019s challenge was clear:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n But the solution was less straightforward.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Drilling dual 100-meter HDDs might seem standard, but calculating the optimal geometry \u2013 entry and exit points, angles, drilling depth, curvature radii \u2013 required meticulous G2 PRO engineering.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And when an unmapped brick structure was discovered while excavating the entry pit, the drilling depth had to be increased on the spot.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The ability to make these real-time adjustments is precisely where engineering experience and onsite expertise make all the difference \u2013 and ultimately define project success.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n HDD construction is now complete, thanks to great teamwork and expert knowledge.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Supporting RTE in its network-upgrade programme requires not only equipment but also precision engineering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9315,"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-9321","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-electricity-en","tag-hdd-en"],"yoast_head":"\n\n
