For-construction design was provided by FPS for this dual bore water pipeline project in outback Queensland. While the necessary trenchless crossings were short, the pipelines were required to be installed in a services-heavy location, which included live gas transmission lines and other essential infrastructure.
FPS provided HDD engineering products including profiles and alignments, hydrofracture analysis, installation and integrity calculations, and drill plans to streamline steering of the crossings.
The 315mm HDPE pipelines, which were up to 88m in length, were successfully installed via midi-rig by contractor Pipeline Drillers Group.
