Construction of an initial shaft to a depth of 14 meters near the coastline.
Pipe jacking to lay sealed concrete pipes in the depths of the sea, with an internal diameter of 1,600mm along a length of 550 meters and at a depth of 14 meters below sea level.
Installation of a 400m polyethylene pipe imported from Norway as a single unit, placing it, and connecting it to concrete pipes in a 180-ton concrete trench, measuring 8x6 meters, using special GRP pipes. The concrete trench was used both to connect the lines and as a shaft in order to access and extract the drilling machine.
The total length of the pipe is approx. 1km into the sea.The project included complex underwater works, requiring a combination of ships and professional divers to transport the pipeline, its installation by means of unique concrete weights, and the implementation of complex marine works.
