Job Description:
Drilling two pilot holes under the piling of a busy bridge of the bustling city of Bangkok with its deep canals without disrupting the daily goings on up above ground can pose quite a challenge.
To deal with the high #interference caused by communication cables present underground #steering was done with the #ParaTrack2. Two bundles of 30 HDPE pipes, measuring 180mm each were successfully pulled through under the existing underground utilities. Well done to the team involved and to Prime Horizontal #Australasia!
