In addition, twelve 1500mm TBM drives will be
delivered, spanning lengths of 55 metres up to 260
metres. The project also incorporates a 20-inch
Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) crossing and

the River Dee. This will be the first installation of a
production pipeline by direct pipe technology in the UK.
Further installations will comprise two 20-inch
auger crossings and thirty-seven 36-inch crossings,
ensuring seamless and safe passage beneath existing
infrastructure and natural features.
