EWPL Reliance India Project.
Project description
The project for Punji Lloyd in India had two phases – during the first project phase we were responsible for the installation of the cable crane system for the delivery of material including the trenching and blasting with special equipment (spider-excavators).
The challenge was the rain period, during which we installed the cable crane and the steepness of the slope, where the cable crane was installed. (up to 67°). In India we worked with our spider-excavators for the Manipulation of the rocky terrain for an accurate pipeline-laying.
Through the end of the project we received th task to take care of the re-instatement work along the already layed pipeline. Due to the high steepness of 67° special equipment was used.
