Job title: Kabeltrasse Flüelen-Dorni (Cable Crossing Flüelen-Dorni)

Pipeline: 2 x 140 mm PE, 2 x 180 mm PE

What the end use would be for: Electric cables
Job Description: An #extraordinary project regarding set up, as it was not possible to use coil, the Large Field Beacon was the only source of an electromagnetic field.
Alte Axenstrasse (Old Axen Road) is the name of an engineering masterpiece in the canton of Uri in Central Switzerland. Running along steep cliffs on the east side of the Lake Lucerne, the road for horse-drawn carriages was built in 1865 after 4 years of construction.
The construction of the Axenstrasse was a technical challenge because of the steep terrain. It runs through many rock fall galleries and tunnels along its route. It was named the Axenstrasse because the road is located along the Axen Mountain.
The scenic old road is 1.0 km (0.62 miles) long windings its way between water and rock. It contains passages blasted out of the rock, rock galleries and a tunnel wall with multiple openings, which offers a view of the lake, Flüelen and the Reuss Valley as well as the vast Alpine and forest areas. Ice and snow can be on the way.

Challenging project crossing a wide harbor to lay a 30kV line between a power plant and a wastewater treatment plant.
Started in the north side, close to the power plant.
Drilling straight parallel to the main road (100m surface coil). 80m after reaching the water edge, started a right turn (100 deg) until the end. Punching out just 20m after reaching exit side.
Limestone started 20m below sea level. On the way down we had some spots with bad ground (stones or gravel). On the way up, last 40-50m ground was extremely soft, in spite of this we managed to punch out successfully!
