28 KM OF URBAN CABLING PROJECT BY HDD

Pubblicato il da

Client: Hydro Quebec, Montreal, QC – Canada

Year: 2000-2001

What I did:  I collaborated on the design of a specialized pit launched drilling rig (the pit-launched 250 Scorpio dry directional drilling rig – with 7 tons of pullback force) and on the detailed design of the installation project of more than 28 km (17 miles) of medium tension electrical cables (3 kV), for the connection of 1.000 houses, in the city of Hampstead, Montreal – QC, Canada. I also carried out the training of the engineers and operators both of the Client (Hydro Quebec) and of the Contractor, and I supervised the work in order to assure the expected productivity.
