Esenyurt Ambarli Loop Hatti - HDD Installation of Large Diameter Pipeline in Istanbul
Ekol Yapi ?n?aat LTDused horizontal directional drilling (HDD) to install a 36 inch steel natural gas pipe under several transportation corridors along the alignment of the pipeline. The project located in the Istanbul area involved two major highway crossings?487 m and 847 m in length, which are record HDD installations in Turkey. The crossings faced several challenges including difficult topography and soil conditions, and critical superstructure and infrastructure near the pipe corridor. The 487 m crossing presented geological challenges, which caused lose of returns and frac-outs. The contractor applied both traditional and forward reaming to open a 48” hole. The 36” pipe of approximately 230 tons was successfully pulled into the hole. The highest pulling force applied during the entire project was 55 tons. The 847 m crossing, which represents the longest HDD crossing in Turkey, passed under a major transportation corridor. Difficult soil conditions required use of a mud motor. The installation proceeded as planned. However, as with the 487 m installation, some difficulties associated with the geology were encountered. Both of these installations took place in crowded dynamic areas of Istanbul that limited available space to string the pipe. In spite of the many challenges, The Ekol Yap? HDD team, with the continuous support of Herrenknecht AG,successfully completed Turkey’s 2 longest HDD crossings. |
