Located in the South Pacific, New Caledonia is a French overseas “sui generis collectivity.” With the continuous expansion of the local nickel mining industry and the construction of urban power distribution networks, the demand for trenchless horizontal directional drilling has been rising year by year. Traditional excavation methods can easily damage the ecosystem of coral reef lagoons, making trenchless directional drilling the preferred solution for local municipal pipeline installation.
We undertook this directional drilling technical service project for a PE power pipeline in the town of Bouloupari, New Caledonia. The client, a local power construction company, had limited hands-on experience with Chinese machinery and required technical training and on-site construction guidance to support the development of the local underground power grid.
