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!

Kudos on yet another job well done #PrimeHorizontal Europe!
A different but not unusual project regarding set up as it was through 321 meters of private land that was not accessible. It was a job for a 6” pilot shoe and 3” assembly with soft soil present. The first 2m at entry side was sand and gravel followed by clay and soil. Exit side was mild dense soft soil and some big boulders that were visible when digging the exit pit.
Seeing as it was not possible to lay coil, the Large Field Beacon was utilized as a source of an electromagnetic field, making it possible to drill an HDD Crossing for electrical cables for wind energy.Tracking used: #ParaTrack2, Surface Coil and Large Field Beacon #LFB
Distance: 411.5m
Depth: 13m
Entry Angle: 15degree
Exit Angle: 14degree
Ground: Soft Soil
