THRUST BORING OF A DUAL 10″ X 24M

Project Description

Thrust Boring of a Dual 10″ x 24M SCH 80 Crude and Gas Pipeline Across Ologbo, Benin/Express Road for Nigeria Petroleum Development Company/AMPS

This project involves the precision and efficient execution of thrust boring operations for a dual pipeline system measuring 10 inches in diameter and spanning a length of approximately 24 meters. The pipeline is constructed from Schedule 80 (SCH 80) materials and is designated for the transportation of both crude oil and natural gas. The thrust boring operation facilitates the installation of this critical energy infrastructure across the Ologbo region and under the Benin/Express Road.

Key Project Details:

1. Dual Pipeline System: The project centers on the installation of two parallel pipelines, each with a diameter of 10 inches, enabling the simultaneous transport of crude oil and natural gas.
2. Pipeline Material: The pipelines are constructed from Schedule 80 (SCH 80) materials, known for their durability and ability to withstand high-pressure environments.
3. Purpose: The primary purpose of the pipeline is to enable the transportation of both crude oil and natural gas from their source point to a designated destination, supporting the energy needs of the region.
4. Pipeline Length: The total length of the pipeline to be installed via thrust boring is approximately 24 meters, emphasizing its importance in connecting vital energy resources.
5. Thrust Boring Method: The project employs advanced thrust boring techniques, a trenchless technology, to create underground passages for the pipelines, minimizing surface disruption and environmental impact.
6. Location: The project site spans across Ologbo, Benin, and extends under the Express Road, showcasing its significance in the regional energy infrastructure.
7. Challenges: The project faces various challenges, including considerations for varying soil conditions, river crossings, and potential environmental impacts, necessitating meticulous planning and execution.
8. Safety and Environmental Considerations: Rigorous safety measures and environmental protections are integral to this project, ensuring the well-being of workers, local communities, and the preservation of the natural environment.
9. Regulatory Compliance: The project adheres to all relevant local, regional, and national regulations and standards governing pipeline construction and environmental conservation.
10. Timelines: A well-structured timeline is established to facilitate the efficient completion of the thrust boring operation and pipeline installation.

This project represents a substantial undertaking in the energy sector, contributing to the efficient transport of both crude oil and natural gas across the Ologbo region and under the Benin/Express Road. The selection of thrust boring exemplifies innovative and responsible construction practices in the industry, minimizing surface disruption and environmental impact while ensuring the reliability of the energy infrastructure.
