Many design challenges were present in this complex HDD project crossing the Brisbane River. Future-Proof Solutions navigated highly congested services, extremely restrictive entry and exit locations, multi-faceted stakeholder requirements, and the additional complexities of coated steel pipelines in producing the design. Delivering the for-construction profile and alignment, plus hydrofracture analysis, installation and anchor calculations, drilling fluid plan, and other associated trenchless engineering products, Future-Proof Solutions also attended on site to assist contractor Pipeline Drillers Group with delivery of the works.

The pipeline was successfully installed on a very tight turnaround via maxi-rig in January 2022.
