🔍 Pinholes in Pipelines: Small Defects, Big Risks 🛠️ At Wegauge Pipeline Inspection & Services, we help you stay ahead. 💪 #PipelineIntegrity #PinholeLeaks #Wegauge #PipelineSafety

Pinholes in pipeline coating look like small defects but have bigger impacts. Many defects can be avoided by using better application technologies.

Suction piles (also called suction caissons or suction anchors) are a long steel cylinder topped with a pile top or cap. The cap comprises valves to assist with embedment as well as connections that differ depending on the use of the pile. Suction piles can be deployed as deep mooring anchors and foundations for subsea infrastructure. They can be deployed from an offshore construction vessel or from an anchor handling vessel, with or without an A-frame. The suction pile is lowered to the seabed. Loads are resisted through the structure with mooring padeyes or pile top footings to the soil via direct bearing and skin friction.

Horizontal Directional Drilling

Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is a trenchless method for installing underground utilities such as pipelines, cables, or conduits without excavating large trenches. The process begins with a pilot bore, where a drilling rig creates a small-diameter, precisely controlled borehole along a predetermined path. Once the pilot bore is complete, the borehole is enlarged by back-reaming to the desired diameter, allowing the utility to be pulled into place. HDD is highly versatile and suitable for crossing obstacles such as rivers, roads, or railways, minimizing surface disruption and environmental impact.

Aluminium anodes are a popular choice for off-shore cathodic protection due to their low weight, simplicity of installation and ability to be cast into a variety of shapes and sizes to meet required specification. Typically, aluminium anodes have a slower consumption rate than other anode options, making them ideally suited for seawater applications such as marine vessels, ship hulls, ballast tanks, marine engineering, harbour facilities, subsea pipelines and offshore drilling platforms.

Did you catch the video we shared showing the extent of some of VolkerTrenchless Solutions’ activities? VolkerTrenchless Solutions (VTS) is a market leader in advanced underground drilling techniques, particularly horizontal directional drilling (HDD). Operating one of the largest HDD fleets in Europe, VTS has a strong technical team which includes geologists, drilling experts and equipment specialists, thereby enabling us to recommend the most appropriate trenchless method and apply this successfully in a broad range of ground conditions. HDD is a trenchless technology used for installing underground pipes, conduits and cables without the need for open trenches. The technique offers several advantages, including reduced environmental impact, minimal surface disturbance, accelerated installation and reduction in risk. We have our own in-house engineering and design departments that can assist with feasibility studies, HDD profiling and design, pipeline suitability assessments, pipeline pulling force calculations, buoyancy and mud pressure calculations as well as settlement and heave calculations.

Horizontal Directional Drilling: A precision-driven, trenchless solution for installing underground utilities with minimal surface disruption. Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is a trenchless technology used to install underground pipes, conduits, or cables along a predetermined path. It involves drilling a horizontal borehole beneath the surface using a steerable drill bit. The method minimizes surface disruption, making it ideal for installing utilities under roads, rivers, or environmentally sensitive areas. The process consists of three stages: pilot hole drilling, hole enlargement (reaming), and pulling the pipe or conduit into place. HDD is widely used in the construction and utility industries due to its efficiency, reduced environmental impact, and ability to navigate around obstacles without excavation. video rights : Respective owners DM for removal/credits #hdd #microtunnelling #engineering #construction #civilengineering #civilconstruction #engenharia #engenhariacivil
