FTP2 PROJECT RESOURCING

Advantages of the HDD method

• Less disturbance to community

• Reduced damage to surfaces

• Increased safety in populated areas

• Ideal when passing many properties which

require continuous access

FTP2 PROJECT HDD METHOD

Advantages of the Direct Pipe method

• Combines advantages of microtunnelling

and HDD technology

• Prefabricated pipeline installed and

borehole excavated in one step

• Fast and highly economical

• Suits practically any ground condition with

the environment remaining largely

unaffected

• Suits densely populated areas with

minimum footprint and maximum efficiency

• Expensive shaft construction not required

• Direct installation of a pre-welded and pre-

inspected pipeline possible

• Precise steering possible on upward and

downward slopes and in curves

FTP2 PROJECT DIRECT PIPE METHOD

Facilities construction challenges

• Spools fabricated by others defective

• Determining status of spool fabrication

• Multiple sites constructed concurrently

• Many underground systems
