Trenching of 12"-16” pipelines down to two meters.

Project description

• Protection of a 12” to 16” steel pipeline.
• Out-of-straightness correction of steel pipeline.

Project challenges

• The pipeline had to be trenched down to two meters in very dense sand.
• The purpose was to provide maximum backfill and meet straightness requirements. 
   

Nexans' solution: The high level of backfill was performed to provide thermal insulation and weight to mitigate upheaval buckling.
