Engineers India Sets New Global Record in Pipeline Engineering

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.
