Construction works can have significant environmental impacts. Herrenknecht AG breaks down the benefits of trenchless solutions in pipeline landfall installations. #trenchless #pipelines #projectconstruction

Here's the video from our Enbridge tour showcasing the operation of midstream pipelines. This working model transported two different streams of water (red and blue) with effective pig traps and provers. The video displays water from the red storage tank moving across the desk. #Engineering #Pipelines

This week, an English man (Richard Lane) and an Irish man (Mark Smith) have been in Scotland and Wales – now there’s a joke in there somewhere other than the fact I’ve been nowhere. Basically, Paddy and Rich have been here there and everywhere mostly talking about properly engineering wells for open loop ground source heating projects. I made the really big mistake of asking what ‘properly engineering’ looks like. I wasn’t really interested. And you know that thing that happens when you say something and immediately regret it? Yeah. That happened. Because cue passionate and heated lecture about verticality, discharging and yields. So, just in case any of you Drifters need to know … one of the keys to the success of an open loop installation isn’t to just focus on your abstraction well, but your reinjection well as well (that’s too many wells). It’s about drilling in a straight line, maintaining critical verticality, it’s about the quality of the installation and ensuring care is taken when drilling to maximise yield. But it’s also about the potential for discharge and that you plan carefully to ensure the reinjection well is capable of taking the maximum volume of water back into the aquifer. Really wish I’d never asked – but at least they know what they are talking about, even if it is all…boring… And if you need boreholes planning and drilling perfectly, whether for water, ground source heat or any other reason, you know what to do. https://lnkd.in/eghWhi3M #GSHP #OpenLoop #Geothermal #Boreholes #WaterWells #AbstractionWell #Yawning #DrillingEngineering #GroundSourceHeat

🚧 Pipeline projects just got a whole lot safer and more efficient! 💪 Ditch the digger and discover the power of hydro excavation.

🚧 Directional Boring and Hydro Excavation in San Diego for Electrical Panel Upgrade 🚧 Our team recently completed a project in San Diego using hydro excavation, utility potholing, and directional boring to prepare for an electrical panel upgrade. This job required careful handling around existing underground utilities to ensure safety and accuracy. In the video, we use a hydro vac truck. Hydro excavation is ideal for this task, as it allows us to uncover utilities without damaging them. This process uses high-pressure water and a vacuum to safely expose utilities. In the video you can see why utility potholing was necessary. With multiple existing utilities, potholing helped us confirm their exact locations before we began directional drilling. This step is essential for safety and prevents accidental strikes. For this project, we completed directional boring to install both 4" and 3" conduits, providing the necessary infrastructure for future electrical runs. Directional drilling allowed us to lay these conduits with minimal impact on the surrounding area, supporting the client’s panel upgrade efficiently. 🔗 For more information on our hydro excavation services, visit Devco Hydro Excavation Services https://lnkd.in/eVDmwGv8

Excavating without knowing the location of underground utilities can lead to injury and costly damage. Next week's Locator Safety Awareness Week provides the opportunity to thank our locators and to highlight the importance of reducing utility-related risk by engaging experienced professional Subsurface Utility Engineering services. Reliable underground and above-ground utility information does matter. #ExperiencedSUEconsultant #T2UtilityEngineers #SafeT2 #ConstructionSafety #LSAW #partofKiwa

I spy with my little eye..... Another successful pig dig! Who can spot the interacting features? ADV Integrity is reviewing ILI Tool reports and selecting repair plan digs for a gathering system in Texas along with the team at MID-AMERICA PIPELINE CONSTRUCTION INC who are running the pigs and completing the digs. This find today is yet another example of why running ILI tools is a good idea, even if your lines aren't required to yet by regulation. Thanks Kyle Whitfield for the confirmation that our work is helping to keep the product in the pipeline. A well designed pig and dig program can ensure that your system can remain in service for may more productive years to come. Give Sarah Graham with Mid-America or myself a shout to learn how our combined teams can be your one stop shop for pipeline integrity management. #midstream #pipelines #oilandgas #integritymanagement #pipelineintegrity

Through tailoring custom-engineered solutions across diverse projects from buoyancy control and pipeline supports, to coating protection, we've tackled everything from the largest pipelines in the Western Hemisphere to the challenging terrain of the Athabasca oil sands. This team in Illinois faced the challenge of installing a 16-inch pipeline under a railway through fractured flagstone, where conventional protection methods like concrete coating or wood lagging weren’t enough to handle the abrasive rock bore. Designed to absorb abrasion and impact through deformation, PipeDefender® engineered pipeline lagging delivered superior protection taking on any damage while fully protecting the pipe as it passed through.
