Execution & Technical Scope
TESPL executed seven HDD crossings of 2,750 metres each at Sindalah, Saudi Arabia — for the NEOM development — working for NEOM / Rawabi KSA. The crossings were executed island to island across sand and mudstone geology using the intersection method. Six pipeline lines were installed in parallel at 5-metre spacing, comprising 18", 20", and 14" diameter pipes. The 14" lines were subsequently used to pull power and telecommunications cables through the installed casings. DD 625 and DD 440 American Auger rigs were deployed alongside TESPL's proprietary 500-tonne pipe thruster.
