Practical questions

Understanding the scope.

Which parts of steel pipeline construction can HPL coordinate?

HPL can coordinate the construction sequence from survey and material movement through welding, coating, trenching, lowering, crossings, testing, reinstatement and handover records, subject to the contract scope.

Is HDD treated separately from pipeline laying?

HDD is a specialist method within the wider pipeline programme. Crossing preparation, product-pipe readiness, pullback and tie-ins are planned with the adjoining pipeline spreads.
