Hadelner Canal HDD Crossing

Transporting #wind gained electricity under the Elbe-Weser Waterway

Despite the interference due to frequent flow of traffic of boats throughout the whole crossing, the team was able to successfully perform a HDD crossing under the Elbe-Weser Waterway by means of #ParaTrack2 in combination with the Surface Coil.
A 20-ton Ditch Witch rig was set up parallel to the road and barley field. 50m of surface coil was laid down at entry and 60m at exit side. The formation was soft soil and clay, so a 3” Jetting assembly and a 6” jetting shoe was utilized to drill at depths of 6 meters under the canal.
The objective was to pull wind #energy electric cables underneath the waterway for transport of wind gained electricity. The entire process was completed in just 2 days, well done to the team involved!
