Engineers India Sets New Global Record in Pipeline Engineering
17 Jan
Summary
- Engineers India achieved the world's longest HDD crossing for a 26-inch pipeline.
- The record-breaking drill spanned 4,058 meters across the Brahmaputra River.
- This feat is part of the crucial Paradip-Numaligarh Crude Oil Pipeline project.
State-run Engineers India (EIL) has achieved a significant engineering milestone, completing the world's longest Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) crossing for a 26-inch pipeline. This record-breaking feat, spanning 4,058 meters, was accomplished during the Brahmaputra River crossing for the Paradip-Numaligarh Crude Oil Pipeline (PNCPL) project.
This accomplishment surpasses EIL's previous record and highlights its exceptional capability in executing complex projects in challenging terrains. The 1,635 km PNCPL is a strategic energy corridor designed to transport imported crude oil from Paradip Port to Assam, passing through multiple states.
The successful completion of this critical infrastructure is vital for strengthening India's energy security, supporting refinery expansion, and fostering significant economic development and employment opportunities in the Northeast region and across the nation.
